(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Monday, August 05, 2002
The warbloggers are following a bold new line of geopolitical analysis. It is incumbent upon America, it seems, to pursue the following two-part strategy: locate failed states (failed worldviews are even better) then bomb them to humiliation. I almost couldn’t believe G. Harlan Reynolds linked to the following with gusto:
The Islamic world -- mainly the Arab Islamic world -- needs to realize that it has failed… But the US needs to destroy Saddam Hussein's regime mainly because the West needs to humiliate the Arab world, and dispel the Islamic millenial [sic, Nick Denton] fantasy
.
“He's right of course,” Reynolds writes, though I wonder how thorough old Tennessee Tuxedo and the warbloggers will be in prosecuting this nifty new idea. I mean, failures of all sorts abound, many outside the Arab world. posted by Anonymous8:17 AM
