I greatly admire The Economist, even when I strongly disagree with its political stance. Lately, I’ve disagreed more and more, as the position that the war in Iraq was the only viable alternative, and entirely and completely justified, has moved from seeming arguable, but at least principled, to seeming merely stubborn.
Now, the magazine has run a leader calling on Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to resign over the Iraq torture revelations. They’re right. He should.
