Not long ago, I was surprised to see Professor Bainbridge criticize the war in Iraq, but that was "pre-Katrina." At the rate things are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see public support -- and the key here is conservative public support -- for the Iraq war (if not the concept of GWOT) drowned in foul New Orleans water.
I expect to see a chorus of thinking along the lines of "The War in Iraq was lost in New Orleans" -- and I hope I am wrong. But opportunistic moralists (people who make connections between flooding and Broadway plays) always climb out of the muck at times like this.
I worry that they'll emerge from both "sides," and emotion will prevail.
