There is a remarkable article in the latest issue of the American Jewish weekly, Forward. It calls for President Bush to be impeached and put on trial "for misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 BC sent his legions into Germany and lost them".
To describe Iraq as the most foolish war of the last 2,014 years is a sweeping statement, but the writer is well qualified to know.
He is Martin van Creveld, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and one of the world's foremost military historians. Several of his books have influenced modern military theory and he is the only non-American author on the US Army's list of required reading for officers.
Damn! You would have to be the biggest tool on the planet to start the dumbest war in 2,000 years! I mean there have been some pretty stupid wars in that time. For example there were the Napoleonic wars, the Falkland Island war, The Eighty year war, the Thirty year war, even a Six day war. To be the architect of the dumbest war in 2,000 years is fairly impressive in an "I glued my ass cheeks together" sort of way.
George W. Bush, embarrassing his family and country for 59 years!
