Iraq and the mideast are historical unfoldings, not journalistic titillations. War and history are longterm and over decades. Children take years to grow into the bequeathed world.

This relative neglect notwithstanding, a cluster of incidents in both countries signals deeper trends with long-term significance.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/global_security/war_of_the_long_now"> The impact of the United States surge in Iraq on the containment of the worst of the violence is being <A href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/561oumdm.asp">represented</A> in neo-conservative circles in Washington as a sign of success.
