The New York Times ran a piece in its arts section today about how the American left can't handle the war's "success." It sites the toppling of the Saddam statue and "cheering Iraqis" as proof of the war's "success." Since the story ran on the arts page, you'd have hoped the Times would have given a bit more play to the destruction of museums, libraries and ten thousand years of culture that have accompanied George W. Bush's glory. Alas, their editorial choice was to promote the jingoistic assumptions one may have drawn from a now-discredited photo-op (there were a maximum of 100 people at the statue toppling counting, media, troops and protesters and the TROOPS brought down the statue.)
