The March 2003 Game
I see that around the blogosphere the game of the day is to revisit one's archives from March 2003 and see what one got wrong and what one got right. That's a bit too navel-gazing for me. But I do know without even going back to check that there was one thing that I got absolutely, perfectly, beyond a shadow of a doubt right in March 2003:
The cub who put the "Abu" in "Abu Aardvark"
He's a beautiful child. May G-d's blessings and guidance be upon him and his parents.

Stop trying to distract us with baby pictures - let's see those archives! ;) Very cute kid, congratulations.

She, actually... hard to tell at two weeks, I know!
Adam, I'm sure the archives prove that I was right about everything and those who disagreed with me were wrong about everything... isn't that a given? (a joke!)

Lovely girl!! Yes.. this is certainly something you "got absolutely, perfectly, beyond a shadow of a doubt right in March 2003"!

Yeah, but just like Iraq, wait... in about 10 more years YOU TOO are going to find yourself in a deadly, intractable low-level insurgency with the potential to blow up into a full-scale civil war. (It will mainly stem from curfews and teen-age angst.)
P.S. Nice article in the new Arab Media & Society
