Blowing His Cover

James Capozzola of The Rittenhouse Review has been hard at work helping to discredit the anti-war left from his position deep behind enemy lines -- 'boring from within', as the saying goes. Instapundit reports that anti-war demonstrations are actually turning the American public towards supporting the war, and J.C. is out there demonstrating with the "students and twentysomethings" in the cold cold rain, despite being twice their age (at least physically).

He also slyly quotes a professor who is worried about possible destruction of Iraqi antiquities and assures us that the ancient Mesopotamians were crucial to the development of the modern world:

What happened here was the establishment of civilization as we know it -- codified religion, bureaucracy, cities, writing.

Three out of four ain't bad, but someone who was truly anti-war would have omitted the part about bureaucracy.

Historical sites would fare much worse under Saddam.
