From TAC

• Anarchist’s playbook. On Murray Rothbard.
• Iraq-war hawk admits we can’t help Afghanistan. Use bugmenot to get in.
• What are we fighting for? US official quits.
• Getting the Vietnam analogy right.
• Cutting a deal with the Taleban may be the best path.
• ‘Independents have flipped negative. That’s not good for any party.’ Sounds good to me.
• The right reasons for liberty. Should libertarians care about cultural values? I think the right answer is in a truly free society those values take care of themselves; people go for what works, or age-old arrangements last for good reasons.
• Hollowing out the middle or how a certain mindset in education kills small towns. Good points as long as one really has the freedom to stay or go.

• Operation Albion. Military expert William Lind on a successful German amphibious attack in WWI.

• Fisking a bad WaPo article on Pope Benedict’s offer to the last Anglo-Catholics. Speaking of such, the Jon Stewart show’s predictable ignorant rant (‘clerical celibacy is doctrine so you’re hypocrites and besides you just hate gays’) had this good line from John Oliver about keeping AC culture under Rome: it’s like better phone service while keeping the same number.
• The good guys re: ex-Yugoslavia?
• Democrats and Republicans a generation from now?
• Warmongering is a bipartisan tradition.
