Resolve vs. Recklessness
John Kerry graces us with what he attempts to style as a major "I told you so."
Kerry presents himself as "someone who learned the hard way how embracing the world's complexity can be twisted into a crude political shorthand." How very, inadvertantly revealing.
What people like John Kerry and the rest of the establishment foreign policy types will never understand is that just because things are difficult, that doesn't mean they are complex. Just because sommething is simple, that doesn't mean it is easy.
People like John Kerry hide from decisionmaking and accountability by occuying a world of "complexity" -- where everything is too difficult ever to be truly resolved, and where more deliberation, more talking and more deep thinking is always necessary.

Hitler and Tojo were problems that were solved. Iron Curtain was a problem that was solved.
Saddam was a problem. Problem solved. AQ is a problem. Problem is being solved. Iran is a problem. Problem will be solved.
"Complexity"
In social areas it became moral relativity. The more complex, the harder it is to find truth. Harder to argue against a perverted imitation of it.
