Statues Falling So many bloggers have had so many good things to say about today's extraordinary events that I feel at a loss to add anything new, worthwhile, or particularly insightful. I suppose I'm just relieved by the recognition that what I--and so many others--believed could happen as a result of military action in Iraq really has started to happen that I don't know what more to say.

I'm more intrigued by the reactions of the anti-war crowd now, as they try to backpeddle or deny or say that what we're seeing isn't really what we're seeing. A week ago, I heard a vehemently anti-war colleague whose office is across the hall from mine complaining that "it [the war] is so unjust." At the time, I had to bite my lip to keep from saying, "Well, I suppose you approve of putting people through shredders, feet first, then, or you think that we ought to impose even more sanctions so yet more innocent Iraqis will die." I noticed that she seemed curiously quiet today.

I'm not going to take on the issue tonight, but I'd like to explore it at some point in the future. For the time being, I'll link to Jeff Jarvis and let him take it from here. Of course, InstaPundit and Andrew Sullivan are worth checking out, as usual.
