Richard Holbrooke, the Obama Administration's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, has died. Holbooke served in every Democratic administration since Kennedy's, most notably as architect of the Dayton Accords which ended the Bosnian War during the Clinton years. Last year George Packer wrote a long profile of Holbrooke for the New Yorker, which gives a good picture of the man and the problems he was wrestling with in the AfPak theater. RIP.

Seems to me - by what I read in the article - that Holbrooke was just another Democrat State Department Whore eager to sell out the U.S. According to the Obomabots he was a member of the "Democratic foreign-policy establishment that had supported the invasion of Iraq more on political grounds than on substantive ones . . ." Just another scumbag Liberal. Burn in Hell. Was that mean? Sorry, but someone needed to say it.

That was mean, and nobody had to say it. May God have mercy on his soul.

Maybe so. But when you think about the dead U.S. soldiers, dead civilians and millions of refugees because of his (and his ilk) self-aggrandizement through dithering and capitulation, it's hard to be pleasant - even in death.
