"A blog about the most important issue of all time, ever"

I should warn that reading too much of this site will have a deleterious effect on your IQ. I think mine plunged about twenty points in as many minutes. It was fun, though.

Thankfully, Rand Simberg was not referring to andúnië.net, but rather a weblog entitled, uh, The Iraq War Was Wrong Blog. The author goes by the pseudonym Proprietor, and explains his(?) site's purpose in a brief Intro/Declaration:

The Iraq War Was Wrong!

And this is my blog about that subject. I really really think it was wrong! What about you?

More in A Note on Terminology:

I was watching Three Kings (good flick, but not enough action!) and I realized that something can cause confusion so I decided to clear up it.

When I say The Iraq War I mean the one we just fought, with George W. Bush as President. (The one that was wrong)

Yes (don't write letters!), I am aware there was another, different war involving Iraq once, when George H.W. Bush was President. But the name of that war is The Gulf War, and probably it was wrong too, but that's beyond the scope of this blog.

Which, to remind, is about The Iraq War. Being wrong.

P.S. Someone can feel free to create a sister blog about The Gulf War being wrong and I'd be happy to link to it. I like to stay focused here though.

Simberg concludes that TIWWWB is elaborate farce. Donald Sensing —who is one of the last people on earth I would call a sucker—thinks it is genuine.

I really have to go with Simberg on this one.

But for good measure, here is the Proprietor's response to Sensing.

A big (hearty) thanks to Mr. Donald Sensing for his kindly link to my our humble little blog (here). From what I could glean (gather) of his reaction to my sight (didn't follow all links, in admittance). He seems to take particuler issue with (overreact) my interpretation of Just War doctrine. (Obstinate refusal to accept final settled decision regarding IRaq (The Iraq War) not being a Just War etc.)

With all due respect, Just War (handed down from ancient Greek philosopher Augustine (a St.)). Is a rather subtle, intricate, byzantine theory and Not just everyone is qualified to sound off about it. I don't relly have time/wherewithal to go into rehash the whole Iraq Just War debate here, but Suffice it to say that some of are BEST thinkers (theologists) spent a goodly # man-hours on wresting with the issue, and as it turns out: the War On Iraq (i.e. The Iraq War) was NOT a Just War.

As I have some familiarity with these matters due to my time at PRinceton (semenary) (semi-unofficial non-matriculation capacity). I found myself able to follow along (at least in general terms) with these arguments for why Iraq (The Iraq War) not Just War. With all due respect, as this all may be rather obscure/opaque to the lay person, Perhaps Mr. Sensing is just alittle bit in over his head with these theologic issues. (No offense)

Sensing, of course, is ordained in the United Methodist Church.

And the Proprietor is an insane freaking comic genius.

I vote for spoof. IMHO the style affected by this blogster is an imitation of that of "The Amazing, Real-Life, Actual Correspondence of Lazlo Toth, American by Don Novello". The original "Lazlo Letters" were hilarious spoofs written by Novello back during the Nixon era in which 'Toth' writes mock serious letters to everyone from Nixon to the Pope to MacDonald's to Franco and includes with each letter the response (if any) that he received. The Lazlo Letters are particularly characterized by numerous parenthetical explanations of the obvious. For those with short memories or few years under their belts, Novello was also the Father Guido Sarducci character from the good era of SNL.

Seems that I have much to learn about pop culture.

Of course, the Lazlo Letters would have been a little before my time—well, a little before what I would remember, anyway.
