You’ve probably already read Wretchard’s great post on “the new American Civil War”:
Probably the most interesting angle on the Valerie Plame affair is from Syrian blogger Amaraji who manages to link it to world and Middle Eastern events. He characterizes the deteriorating situation in Syria as one example of emergent problems that have started and will fester because of what he calls the new American Civil War.
If you haven’t yet read it, I do hope you will. Comments too (35 as I write), where e.g., Wretchard wrote:
The way to keep a grip on ourselves is to keep returning to the ground of reality. The War on Terror arouses strong emotions; and there are lots of places where I don’t think we want to go. Whether that misstep is blinding ourselves, as the liberals have done; or being overcome with hatred or apocalyptic vision, the misstep is nevertheless a fatal one. The Plame affair is a warning of how near we are to the eye-gouging, ear-biting wrestling match.
