I'll probably be blogging sparsely the next three or four days. But here are some worthwhile short takes.

Brown touts city progress at breakfast Oakland Tribune 01/22/04, in which he is quoted:
Brown renewed his criticism of President George W. Bush's foreign policy, saying the president has no idea what he is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I guess we're nation building there," Brown said. "There are some blocks in Oakland that I'd like to nation build."

this is a good comprehensive Herald article. i have this morning spent some time reading riverbend, chris albritton and juan cole, and it seems pretty clear that the most likely outcome for iraq is civil war. as this article concludes, by that time the US will be out of the country, it will be all campaign all the time, and one more civil war in one more godforsaken country won't matter to most americans. it will no longer be "our" problem. despite the fact that we will have created it.
Juan Cole is a great source about the Iraq War and related issues. Sometimes I think instead of posting anything here about Iraq, I should just say, "Remember to read Juan Cole's blog today." - Bruce
