      1. The intern tasked with beating me on head for tweeting about Canadian media is on break so I want to talk about Andrew Coyne & Iraq War.

      2. Here's a column Coyne wrote on the eve of the war: http://www.jamesmoore.org/12arguments.htm

      3. Interesting thing about column is a) how ludicrous it was even in 2003 and b) Coyne would probably stand by every word.

      4. Note this passage: "hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths -- There is no basis to these forecasts."

      5. We don't know how many Iraqi civilians died but estimates are between 170,000 to a million.

      6. Coyne appears on CBC quite often. In light of Chilcot report, might be worth asking him about his pro-Iraq war writings.

      7. If Tony Blair is to be held (partially) accountable for what he did in 2002-2003, why not the cheer-leading pundits?

          Say, wasn't The New Republic - the self-proclaimed leading light of liberalism - at the forefront of said cheerleaders back then?

          Instead of castigating Iraq war hawks, let us learn from those who opposed it.

          I also believe Jeb! is the unintended electoral casualty of the Iraq War. Guilt by association, according to GOP base.
