The image the neos would have us conjure here is that of Allied forces being
wined and feted as they freed French villages from their Nazi occupiers. But
Iraq isn¹t France in this conflict; it¹s more like Germany, where, as the
one-time GIs can attest, the reception to U.S and U.K. forces was a good
deal frostier, even among Germans who detested their leaders.
When the histories of the U.S.-Iraqi war are written, someone is going to
have to track down when exactly the neoconservatives sold the Brooklyn
Bridge to our president.
