# Posted 10:21 AM by Patrick Belton  

LETTING MY FRIENDS DO MY WORK FOR ME: Today is the day after Saint Patrick's Day. That means, I'm not blogging much today. Instead, go read Kevin's new blog over at Washington Monthly, Winds of Change on (among other things), China and terrorism, and Robert on Saudi suppression of dissidents (and the fact that Harvard weather sucks). At TNR Online, Easterblog is a must read on graduation rates in NCAA basketball, and Jesus mini-series spin-offs. Thomas Friedman is at his best on the Axis of Appeasement. (What's that? It's what happens when the Axis of Evil intersects with the Axis of Incompetence.) Also,
Unless President Bush dispenses with his discredited argument for the war — W.M.D. — no one will hear or listen to what I believe was always the only right argument for the war and is now the only rationale left: to depose the genocidal Saddam regime in order to partner with the Iraqi people to build a decent government in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world — because it is the pathologies and humiliations produced by Arab misgovernance that are the root causes of terrorism and Muslim extremism.
Also, sticking with the theme of the post indicated in the header - our foreign policy society releases today a policy paper on North Korea, as well as launching the website for our high school and college foreign policy essay contest. Let us know what you think!
