All bow to Norm. There exists no clearer voice of reason on the war.

All those who, in opposing the war, claimed to have the interests of Iraq and the Iraqis at heart should be calling, not for a timetable of withdrawal, but for getting behind the effort to ensure a successful democratic transition in Iraq. Getting behind it - in the sense of actively debating how that battle can now best be fought, previous errors best be corrected and remedied, the expertise and resources of other members of the community of nations most effectively be drawn on, and so forth. A common discourse, in other words, across those who supported and those who opposed the war, and for the sake of common liberal and democratic objectives in Iraq. That would be quite something, no?

Compare this to the insight we get at DailyKos.

Saddam tortured, we torture. Saddam used WP chemical weapons against insurgents and civilians, we use WP chemical weapons against insurgents and civilians.

Saddam's Iraq and Bush's America - same thing. Right.
