It’s official. Iraq has devolved into civil war and chaos, just as anyone honest who was paying attention said it would a decade ago.

I wrote a newspaper column about Bush and Cheney’s invasion at the time called “History Will Judge Us,” saying the invasion was a terrible mistake and questioning the WMD rationale.

I was called a commie and a traitor by dozens of readers whose goddamn mouths seem to be shut now. I hope they warm themselves by the fire of how they cheered for thousands of U.S. troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis to be killed for lies, for nothing but lies the fools wanted to believe.
