I GUESS WE’RE JUST CONTRARY: Best quote on blogs and war this week is this one from Nick Denton:

“It’s standard Weblog style when everybody’s enthusiastic to say, `Wait a minute, war is ugly,’ ” said Nick Denton, publisher of Gawker, a Weblog devoted to New York news. “So when talking cable heads start to get gloomy, the Weblogs’ natural tendency is to say, `Well, it was always going to be difficult.’ “

Yep. (Via Reid Stott, who has lots of stuff worth reading).
