Costs and Claims

Recently, Chris Bertram evaluated the case for war and found it wanting. He noted that there were no easy answers, but “The burden of justification, though, lies with those who would make war” and that the case as made was very weak. How weak? Via Drapetomaniac comes a link to a site that brings together inormation about likely costs of a war and the reliability of the claims made in favor of it.

i also very much like this remix of bush’s state of the union speech. it was done by a well-known ny radio personality, Jay Smooth.
