Uh, as for the actual topic of the thread, I have little to add other than that this all sounds pretty good. I'll have to see the results, but I am happy with the pre-pre-pre-pre-release buzz.

I read somewhere — before I was a Classics major, so I don't know if it's true — that when Alexander the Great conquered the Persians, he made sure to take out the very top people in power, but to leave in place the low-level governors and the military in order to keep order, so that he wouldn't have to rebuild a government from scratch and so that he wouldn't create a massive group of armed men who hated him and had nothing to do anymore but try to kill him. This was part of the reason for his great success.

I think — again, on the basis of little evidence, so I may be wrong — that de-Baathification went too far, and we created our own enemies at times. This, I suspect, was part of the reason that things soured so quickly.

I'm surprised, Alec. You're apparently completely unfamiliar with the concept of liberal "revisionist" history. Not all history books devote whole chapters to Washington and the cherry tree at the expense of mentioning that he did in fact own slaves.

It is true that many historians don't like asking, "What if...?" This dislike mostly stems, I think, from the difficulty of answering the question, compared to the question, "What was...?" There is still a fair bit of discussion, though, about Truman dropping the atom bomb on Japan. Historians do argue whether this was a good thing to do or not.

Likewise, there has been a great deal of investigation into how exactly we got into Vietnam, which was a long and complicated process, perhaps as long and complicated as how we got into Iraq, so I don't doubt that historians even now are doing their best to figure out how the heck we got into Iraq. If it proves demonstrable — and this will take time and a great burden of evidence, not just probable speculation — that we went there for corporate greed, I don't doubt that some textbooks will attempt to paper this over, but some others will write it.

As for what we should have done, well, eh. Like I said, historians have trouble proving what we should have done, but they don't have any trouble pointing out what we could have done, and I don't doubt that they will here, too.

EDIT: Also, human flesh is good with some salt and herbs. I find that it is far easier to enjoy properly the delicate taste of baby flesh if it is lightly seasoned than if is drowned in salsa.

One argument that has bugged me lately is the following: "If we leave, the terrorists will follow us here." This makes **** for sense. The whole point of international terrorism is that it is not based anywhere and respects no borders.

Does anyone honestly believe that Al Qaida and other relevant extremist organizations — which have many members as far west as North Africa and as far east as Pakistan, if not farther, as well as a handful in Europe and the U.S. — are particularly worried about a few people getting killed in Iraq? Does anyone honestly believe that we're focusing the efforts of "the terrorists" — a completely heterogeneous and decentralized category of people — in Iraq and that, as a result of being occupied there, they cannot attack elsewhere if they feel like it? Try to make this argument to a Spaniard ("If you leave, they'll follow you home!"), and see what sort of response you get.

Besides which, characterizing "the terrorists" in this way drives me crazy. Terrorism is not the weapon of Islamic extremists alone. The most deadly terrorist attack on United States soil prior to the September 11th attacks was the Oklahoma City bombing, not committed by a Middle Eastern man nor by a Muslim, but by our own home-grown terrorist.

You can click on "New Poll" and see at least a couple of screens before it actually posts the thing. I just tried it and could click "Continue" at least twice before anything happened. Then I got scared and stopped.

That's probably the best way to answer your question: try it yourself (but don't actually post anything).

Fourth-year undergrad, double-majoring in Classical Languages and Astrophysics. Much farther along on the classics than the astro. Probably just tanked my Thermo test.

After I get my B.A., I will leave all this behind and lend my screeching vocals to a power metal band. :cool:

Nope. The Ides are on the 15th in March. They're, um, variable depending on the month, though, as the relevant article from the repository of all knowledge accurately indicates.

My Latin teacher brought some bread and sparkling water, and when one of my classmates was failing to cut the bread efficiently, he said, "Stab boldly, Stephen! Hack!" I was terrified. :P
