Joe Biden, the Democrat Senator and beloved comic figure

Go read Mark Steyn's latest. It's full of great lines like that above:

Francis Fukuyama and the other moulting hawks

My argument for whacking Saddam was always that the price of leaving him unwhacked was too high.

Diplomats use "stability" as a fancy term to dignify inertia and complacency as geopolitical sophistication, but the lesson of 9/11 is that "stability" is profoundly unstable.

The biggest buck for the bang was obvious: prick the Middle East bubble at its most puffed up point - Saddam's Iraq.

He has such a knack for the bon mot.

That last reminded me that we have lanced a boil in Iraq, and our intellectuals and media elite keep telling us that we caused the infection, that it would have cleared itself up if we had just left it along. Better take our chances on sepsis.

Maybe that's how you win a Nobel Peace Prize, but it usually ends up in more death and misery, except that doesn't get in the the news.
