An amusing (and spot on) piece from the Weekly Standard

And it contains the Line of the Day

“I know facts don’t matter to people whose favorite hobby is shouting…”
-Larry MIller in the Weekly Standard, 02/25/2003

And, indeed:

In fact, if there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that the best thing that can ever happen to a country is to go to war with us and lose. This was so obvious after the Second World War that a wonderful satire was made, “The Mouse That Roared,” about a little, impoverished country that decides to declare war on the United States for the express purpose of immediately surrendering and being rebuilt afterwards with foreign aid.

The movie’s worth watching, btw. It stars Peter Sellers.

(Thanks to Neophyte Pundit for pointing out the story.)
