Adam Felbers has a solution to our problem in Iraq:
The latest revelations out of Abu Ghraib are so mind-bogglingly horrifying that we need to act now, and act hard. What’s notable about this is that if we have any intention of getting the hearts and minds of the Arab world while said organs are still in their hosts’ bodies, we’re going to have to use Bush administration tactics.
We have to go into Commando Apology mode. Give it a neat-sounding mission name like “Operation Iron Contrition,” or “Operation Enduring Oops.”
Excellent gambit! We could also drop thousands of personalized Hallmark(tm) greeting cards over Baghdad: “We’re sorry, Mr. (blank). Really. Our bad.”
I really, really wish Adam Felbers’ blog was syndicated in both fulltext and excerpt. I keep missing the good stuff.
