From the country that brought us the Cold War: a Russian military analyst tells us why Ted Kennedy is as out to lunch now as he was thirty-five years ago. Bottom line: the Marine who sent Andrew Sullivan a letter predicting that "the Marine Corps will either reaffirm its place in history as one of the greatest fighting organizations in the world or we will die trying" in Fallujah was right. That's "reaffirmed." Read the analyst's essay. Iraqi politics aside, I don't believe the thugs in Fallujah had any idea what whirlwind they would reap. (Via IP.)
