All the good snark is taken

Just a few minutes ago, I read aWol's latest stupid quote:

The first reaction, of course, of Hezbollah and its supporters is, declare victory. I guess I would have done the same thing if I were them, but sometimes it takes people a while to come to the sober realization of what forces create stability and which don't. Hezbollah is a force of instability.

My first thought was--and the US military isn't in Iraq? Not really enough to build a blog post around. So I look over at WIIIAI, and see that he jumped all over the "I would have done the same thing," but then noticed that Bob Harris had beaten him to it--both using this photo:

Billmon points out that aWol seems to have forgotten that last year, faced with the growing insurgencies in Iraq (surely, if there are multiple internets, there are multiple insurgencies in Iraq), his girlfriend had declared that democracy was more important than stability.

"For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region here in the Middle East -- and we achieved neither. Now, we are taking a different course."
