"Among the tacit assumptions of Gelb's argument is the good that should have come, and that may yet come, from America's bombing, invasion, and occupation of Iraq." When all else, as it has in this case, fails, there's always Dr. Pangloss. If something happened, like the bombing and invasion, it must be for the best, in this best of all possible worlds. And if yopur stomach is full, and your chair comfortable, it's a very convincing arguement, best truncated by Mr. Newman: "What! Me, worry?"
