Um, someone needs to remind you that the subject of my post was the Democrats, not the media (unless you were equating the two--in which case I might grant your point).
I read the article, and remain unpersuaded. Woods (and you) make the absurd claim that the MSM were/are among the greatest cheerleaders of the latest actions in Iraq. I grant that the WaPo editorialized in favor of it, but who else did so on a consistent basis?
LewRockwell.com is in general a good source of libertarian and constitutionalist perspectives on government, but I part ways with LRC regarding their reflexive opposition to all war. I agree with the principle that "war is the health of the state", but I disagree with what LRC seems to have concluded from this principle: all war is intended to expand the state, and thus all war is to be opposed.

By the way, Erik -
What, in your opinion, is the definition of the term "neocon"?
