Richard Cohen Is Not Very Bright

In an otherwise unremarkable column about the myriad failures of the Bush presidency, Richard Cohen throws us this brilliant line on foreign policy:

Whether you supported the war or opposed it, you have to concede that it should have ended years ago and, along with the invasion of Grenada, be a fit dissertation subject for a desperate PhD candidate and not, as it remains, a festering debacle.

Does Cohen really think that regime change in a small Caribbean island, and in a much larger, ethnically heterogeneous Middle Eastern state are comparable? Was this the "logic" he used for supporting the invasion of Iraq? Perhaps he should stick to what he knows - serving as a faithful stenographer for our elites - and leave the policy analysis to people who can actually think (the kind of people who understand cultural and historical factors matter when you're talking about toppling a government and occupying a nation indefinitely).
