Obviously, vindication is the wrong word to use

Among the ranks of those who make an end to war their primary crusade, there are countless looneys and quacks. Justin Raimondo is not one of them. He is the atypical protestor, meaning he is both rational and sane.

I've been reading him since late 2002, and I think there are two ways to interpret his stuff:

A) He is the luckiest conspiracy theorist of all time in that there are volumes and volumes of evidence that circumstantially support his claims, and his predictions, by pure chance, just happen to come true - all the time.

Or, B) The man does his fucking homework, and he knows his shit. Well.

If you happen to have discussed the clusterfuck that is the Middle East with me in the past few years, chances are my arguments would have been almost purely Raimondian. And that being the case, chances are I would've already told you long ago that Lebanon-Syria was the next stop on the crazy train.

His last two columns serve as a great spot to jump in and get your feet wet. See how we got here, and where we're headed.

And if you are curious about little things like details, or the onus of proof, THE ISRAEL LOBBY AND U.S. FOREIGN POLICY is for you.
