POD from the BelmontClub

Here Wretchard does what he does best, and better than anybody else. Basically he says that the enemy in Iraq is chaos, and that the US military has learned how to defeat chaos by empowering the troops on the ground, but the US State Department has not learned how to KILL chaos by empowering its employees on the ground to direct rebuilding.

He goes on to explain that Iraq is just one battle in which the United State's true enemy will be Chaos, though it will wear different masks.

You need to read it. It is fantastic.
