WHEN MEMORY FAILS
Check the Bloggers

For reasons known but not worth exploring or discussing here, at least now, my memory is failing badly. I’m not alone in that, at least when it comes to the general voting public, particularly diehards on the right, and politics.

And that’s why we should all be grateful for bloggers like Tim Dunlop of the Road to Surfdom for reminding us, or bringing to our attention, the fact that not so very long ago Secretary of State Colin Powell was confidently assuring Americans the invasion of Iraq was supported by “many . . . nations” that chose not to be publicly associated with the endeavor. (“The Coalition of the Silent,” I suppose.)

Each day, or most days, I read or at least scan many newspapers, and I’ve yet to see the connection Dunlop has made in any one of them.

Nice work, Tim.
