Annals of Big Government
Jessica Mathews in the Post today:
At CPA planners are deep into nearly every crevice of national government, from the postal service to tax policy, from finance to telling Iraqi teachers how they could teach better. A lot of this could be and should be left to Iraqis to decide eventually, even if we’re convinced that we know better. Our delegation was told of the need for “unified command and control at the political/economic level.” We should know better.
When I think that this war numbers among its supporters people who have read, admire and claim to understand Friedrich Hayek - well, if I had a webcam you could see me shake my head.
