Eugene Robinson's pun/description of the "Road Home Lunacy" will catch everyone's eye, but it's his conclusion that hits the nail on the head and drives it home with one blow:
To escape the death dance of Brownian motion, New Orleans needs force applied in one coherent direction. I have an idea: If Gen. David H. Petraeus is as smart and tough as the president says he is, if he's good enough to save Baghdad, the president should immediately send him to New Orleans instead -- or explain why policing a civil war in Iraq takes priority over resurrecting a great American city.
Of course, that's also a double-edged sword: if they can't--or WON'T--resurrect New Orleans, how in hell does anyone expect them to fix the Godzilla-on-steroids mess that is Iraq?
