Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

The Wall Street Journal reports in an editorial, "[A]s the Islamic scholar Bernard Lewis observes, Iraqis will also see any American refusal to mete out justice not as mercy but as weakness." I'm curious as to whether they would view American complicity in the new Iraqi regime meting out this justice as sufficient strength, while possibly also being less "humiliating" and perhaps even helping to legitimize the new regime.
