This is called "democracy promotion."

Operation Get Saddam was over a long time ago.

Comments here are off for the time being, mostly because of comment spam. I'll look into some sort of simple security-code solution (maybe like Kevin's) someday but for right now it's simpler to shut them down.

You can send blog feedback to sbogart[YYYY]@[thisdomain].com, where YYYY = the current year. (I'm using that pattern for a few email addresses so I can abandon the address after a couple of years, when it's attracting enormous amounts of spam. We'll see how it works.)
