Juan Cole reports that rumours are circulating of plans for a military coup in Baghdad. One wonders if Bush and his minions might not welcome it as long as the "right kind" of military government is a result. They don't seem to have a problem with the military governments in Islamabad or Bangkok both of which overthrew legitimate democratic regimes. They even, as I recall, applauded a short lived junta in Caracas not so long ago.
If we didn't have only 515 days to go I might think it wouldn't be such a bad idea in Washington.
