Iraq's escalating sectarian violence has apparently persuaded conservative mandarin William F. Buckley to pronounce the U.S. effort to reshape that country a failure.
In fact, the sad spectacle currently unfolding in Iraq seems to have shaken even Bill O'Reilly's nerves: a man who once likened advocates of a U.S. withdrawal to Nazi appeasers now says it's time for the U.S. to cut its losses and "hand everything over to the Iraqis as fast as humanly possible."
The reason? O'Reilly has recently been convinced that Iraq is full of "crazies" that the U.S. is never going to be able to "control."
