Dr. Frank's What's-it

Letter from Gotham posts a reminder of this classic column from Michael Kelly. I miss him already.

Also from Diane, a prediction that the taking of Baghdad will be "seduction, not rape." She means, more subtlety than blitzkrieg. Let's hope she's right. She has a much better than average record on correct predictions, and I think she may be right about this one, too.

For some reason, sex as a metaphor for warfare tends to sound a little better coming from a woman, but I'll risk adding: if seduction it be, the post-seduction phase will be complicated, as p.-s. p.s always are.
