Emerald City

William S. Lind likens the Green Zone to the fabled metropolis in the Land of Oz, which means we mustn't pay any attention to Paul Bremer behind the curtain.

Lind offers a hopeful conclusion, though:

When the full scope of America's defeat in the Wars of Mass Destruction ignited by Iraq becomes apparent, the political result is likely to go far beyond any election, especially an election in America's one-party Republicrat state (you get two candidates, but they both represent the same thing.) We are likely to see that interesting time known by historians as "change of dynasty," where a defective and corrupt Establishment is all swept away.

Now that could be fun to watch.
