...sorry nature of its security forces? And if Iraq doesn't stabilize, if it becomes an anarchic haven for Islamist radicalism-as a recent National Intelligence Council report suggested it might-then how will the President's rhetoric sound a decade from now? Will he appear as foolish in retrospect as Woodrow Wilson does, holding out for a League of Nations in the negotiations after World War I instead of using his leverage to hammer out a more equitable and practical European peace...

From his hilarious endpapers with a fiction writer’s flow to his near-perfect proofing track record (with a few, amusing-in-retrospect exceptions) and, above all, his desire to bond with us over Amstel Light or an episode of the Daily Show, Dave is our day-to-day, true-blue hero. He embodies the ethos of FM: be serious, but don’t take yourself too seriously, and we love...
