For some reason, I haven't seen much on dKos about a remarkable fellow named Jim Wright. He's a retired Navy Chief Warrant Officer who lives in Alaska, and his blog Stonekettle Station has recently been one of the sanest and most eloquent voices in a world where the crazies and the pundits just seem to be getting louder and crazier.
His most recent post is on the whole chest-pounding brouhaha involving Iraq and the fact that we're not invading it right this minute. It's a beautiful thing, and I wanted to share just a bit (past the Beignet of Doom).
