Omelette Theory in Iraq
To begin to get on the right side of the rhetoric about Iraq, what I dub the "Omelette" rationale must be punctured. Which is to say, you can't simply decry the misery of the war, the fatalities, etc. You must condemn the whole project. The line of our government is that if you want to make an omelette you have to break some eggs. Question the omelette, not simply the breaking of eggs. Kerry wouldn't do this, and I believe his loss was tied to that fact. Dean perhaps would have done it. Perhaps he too would have lost, but not without mobilizing and emboldening the majority who believe this war is the biggest mistake, the most profound disaster of our generation.
