I was actually alive in 2003. And I definitely made some poor judgements then, but I was not, in fact, screaming for Baghdad to be turned into glass.
Iraq II was actually a big turning point for a lot of liberal interventionists in that it showed the dangers of assuming intent matters much in the messy business of states and military intervention and imposing your moral vision on the world.
What were those poor judgements? Automatically assuming every brown Muslim is a terrorist like practically every liberal today is doing with Palestinians? Is that why you just see them as a "political inconvenience" and not human beings?
