I’m adding another public Google Notebook : Iraq, Iran, and the War on Terror. While the reporting has been extensive, I don’t think the media has done a very good job of pointing out what’s important and what isn’t. Granted, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, and reporters aren’t trained as analysts, but it still amazes me how much better the information is on the blogosphere than in mainstream media. My sense of it is this: we’ve accomplished most of our objectives, but not in the way we expected, and are now positioning ourselves for a long term presence in the middle east, just as we’ve done in Europe and the Far East. Why must we be the world’s policeman? Whom would you prefer?
