VDH

Dr Hanson has been writing up a storm. He's even writing a historical novel (check the "outtakes" in the last few entries in his blog here). Here are a couple of recent columns on Iraq: 1 and 2.

I suppose I should point out every once in a while that VDH is a classical scholar, military historian, and a conservative Californian Democrat.

News media put conservatives on the right, but that is because they themselves are on the pretty-much far left. It makes more sense to me for the American political spectrum to put conservatives of both parties in the center with equality-forced-if-necessary to socialism/communism leaning moonbats to the left and libertarian-free-market-uber-alles to extreme isolationist-rest-of-the-world-go-to-hell crazies to the right.

Other countries are different: Hitler and Mussolini came from the left in their respective countries in the 20s. Sweden's new center-right leadership would be pretty far on our left, etc.
