A Don’t-Care Unilateralist

Mark Steyn discourses on ongoing anti-Americanism masquerading as concern for Iraq. As always, he gets in a few delicious zingers.

After I wrote about my trip to Iraq in the Sunday Telegraph and its sister papers, I received quite a few emails from US troops in the country, the gist of which was summed up by one guy with a civil affairs unit near Baghdad: ?I?m glad to hear somebody report what?s really going on …the fact that there isn?t anything going on.? I saw no anarchy, no significant anti-US hostility, and no hospitals at anything like capacity. In other words, I was unable to find Will Day?s Iraq. I don?t honestly think it exists outside his head: as Dinah Washington once sang, ?Water difference a Day makes?; he has miraculously transformed Iraqi water into whine.
