GOLDBERG SYNOPSIS

James Joyner | Monday, October 20, 2003

Hellblazer: Shorter Jonah Goldberg:

I have no logic for what we did. I have no explanation for why it was done. But drawing from my vast experience in prison, fictional westerns and third grade playground politics, I conclude we were completely justified in getting tangled up in this tarbaby called Iraq.

Actually, according to Realist theory, the international milieu–anarchy and all that–is very similar to prison, fictional westerns and third grade playground politics.

He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.
