    Jeet Heer Retweeted Peter Beinart

    Very few of the intellectuals who supported the Iraq War have come to terms with what a disaster it was. Beinart is one of those few,which is one reason he's so valuable.https://twitter.com/PeterBeinart/status/994964262543032326 …

    I supported the Iraq War. A mentor died in it. My sister-in-law left her toddler to serve in it. I wrote 2 books grappling w/ how I got it so wrong. I never thought people like Bolton + Netanyahu could pull off a campaign of lies like that again.

        The fact that all of these people who got it so wrong, even if they now admit it, are still prominent pundits and commentators tells me *we* didn't learn anything. I don't care if *they* did. The fact we still see them as anything but pariahs is unbelievable.

        Peter's um, journey is slightly different. In my opinion he should be argued with not sneered at

        Too lazy to read...if the "mentor" was Michael Kelly, yes that was a terrible loss indeed. I still miss him.

        I thought supporting the Iraq war automatically stripped you of the title “intellectual.”

        The focus should be on what separates people like him from the rest of us who knew all along.

        aside from the fact they still get platforms to continue being wrong about everything else.

        I think you have to temper you Iraqi analysis with the idea the idea that eventually Iraq was going to have a civil war. American intervention accelerated the event, but very difficult to judge if the actual chaos and slaughter was made worse by the intervention or not.
