Letter to Joe Klein, TIME:
Were you hoping for the US to lose when you declined at the age of 20 to join the armed services at the height of the Vietnam War, Mr. Klein? Is this whole “liberals want us to lose” thing just some sort of projection of your own failing of 40 years ago? I’d be perfectly willing to accept that you didn’t think Vietnam was a war worth fighting for if you’d give up this stupid line about liberals wanting Iraq to spiral into violence. Heck, that’s why I was against the war in the first place; I thought it would get a lot of innocent people killed. But once you jump off the cliff, no amount of flapping your arms is going to make you fly.
