Spencer Ackerman in the New Republic (via Washington Monthly) discusses the horrifyingly casual way in which some people talk about the possibility of a civil war in Iraq and how they think it wouldn't be any "worse" than what happened in Lebanon, where a mere 100,000 people were killed, 1,000,000 displaced, and the country thrown into war and foreign domination for 30 years.
I guess it's easy to talk about these things when other people are doing the dying.
