Derbyshire is a putz

John Derbyshire:

I greatly enjoyed the Iran-Iraq War.

Ah, yes, who doesn't look back fondly on the chemical weapons attacks, human wave offensives, attacks on oil tankers, and the 100s of thousands of deaths? We also got the added benefit of having two evil governments remain in place after it was over to foment more trouble and continue to oppress their own people. Great enjoyment, indeed.
