Alistair Horne on Iraq
I found this Salon piece interesting (you have to watch the ad.) It talks about a recent tea between Bush and "Bush's favorite historian," Alistair Horne, author of A Savage War of Peace about the FLN's inevitable victory in Algeria.
Starting on Page 2, Horne describes the similarities he sees between Iraq and Algeria. On every comparison, Iraq is worse.
I don't agree with it all, but if you've got a minute, it's fascinating.

Again, some of the broader more historical stuff I felt the want to argue, but it's such a great and different look than anything else we're getting.
