Unlike the "surrender spouting" crowd, who claim that those of us who disagree with the administration's policy on Iraq want to "surrender" or "establish a global caliphate" or whatever, I don't assume that the intent of the people who espouse a policy is the same as what I believe the result of the policy to be. I assume that most disagreements are rational disagreements on complex issues where intelligent people of good will may disagree.
Of course, if I didn't have a strong willingness to "agree to disagree", I wouldn't be much of a Libertarian. I believe that we all have a right to be wrong.
The point is that sometimes, silly looking tactics WORK. And in those cases, they may look less silly in the rear-view mirror of history.
