On Comedy Central’s “Tough Crowd” tonight, comedian Judy Gold called the war in Iraq “a war of choice.” Beautifully put. Because even if you agree with this war, you have to admit, it’s a choice we’ve made to pursue it, unlike the traditional idea that war is something thrust upon you. This war is like elective surgery – it might improve things, but there are definite risks, and the cure could very well be worse than the disease. It’s the liposuction of international relations.
