I’m getting tired of apologists for our misadventures in Iraq minimizing the severity of the insurgency in cities like Fallujah, Iraq, claiming that the true measure of our success there should be the relative calm in other areas.

By that very same logic, we shouldn’t have gotten too excited about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks because, after all, America is a big place, and the terrorists only hit New York and Washington, D.C.
