Paul Krugman's latest complaint about the liberation of Iraq is that:
... many jobs at the C.P.A. went to people whose qualifications seemed to lie mainly in their personal and political connections — people like Simone Ledeen, whose father, Michael Ledeen [is] a prominent neoconservative ...Simone Ledeen takes Krugman apart. Among her observations is that:
The kind of political "reward" Krugman describes doesn't put you in a flak jacket and a Kevlar helmet and expose you to roadside bombs or rocket attacks. Nor can I imagine any parent celebrating the arrival of his child in a war zone.Silly me, I thought the complaint of the Krugman/Moore set was that
Mr. Bush's policies favor a narrow elite at the expense of less fortunate Americans — sometimes, indeed, at the cost of their lives.Not enough war supporters are sending their own children to Iraq at the same time that too many are!
Yeah, whatever.

In a room full of people he wouldn't even get a second nod from anyone.
