Wonks Anonymous cares deeply about the economy and about health care. Nevertheless Wonks Anonymous would like to do a shout out to the candidates. Here is at least one voter who cares most deeply about ending this immoral and eternal war.

Wonks Anonymous is tempted to insert a bunch of wonkish arguments here. He wants to call your attention to the four million displaced Iraqis,mainly Sunnis, living in exile or in camps within Iraq. He would love to discuss the untold thousands being held without recourse by the US army and by the US sponsored Iraqi government. He would like you to remember that conditions in Iraq, although they have improved in the past year, are hardly as good as they were under Saddam.

But all this is really beside the point. Wonks Anonymous opposed the war from the beginning because he thought that it was immoral to invade any nation without provocation. He continues to oppose the occupation because he sees it as an attempt to subordinate the economic, political and cultural development of Iraq to the whims and requirements of the US. It was, and still is, wrong and no good will come of it.

To paraphrase an argument made to a technocrat in Tolkien's The Two Towers: Were we ten times more wise we would have no right to rule them and theirs for our own profit as we have desired.
