This WP article is so profoundly depressing, about how the sensible knowledgeable non-ideological people with expertise in post-conflict issues and the Middle East were systematically shut out of crucial Iraq decisions, their advice ignored, by administration ideologues until three minutes ago. How did a well educated first world country like ours come to be run for a time by such ideologues?
