perfidy

Go read this post from The Volokh Conspiracy's Orin Kerr. He weighs the arguments for and against war, based on expected outcomes. Money quote:

I envy those who seem certain that on balance one side is substantially more likely than the other. I see it as pretty close, or more accurately, far beyond my expertise to make a call one way or the other. All of which leaves me uncertain as to whether the President's strategy is the right one, and leaves me thinking, "Man, I sure hope he knows what he's doing."

'bout right.
