Rod Dreher has started an interesting meme in Once upon a time, I believed... "I reflected on what things I believed at the onset of the [Iraq] war, that I no longer do as a result of the war". Go to his site to see the first 4 and other updates but here's number five:
"5. I have a far greater appreciation for how rare and fragile liberal democracy is, and a corresponding revulsion at the American assumption that it's the natural state of mankind. Which is to say, the war has made me rethink my ideas about human nature, and I'm far more pessimistic now than I ever was."
Scott Adams generalizes this and makes it funny.
