Jonah Goldberg

Jonah Goldberg, who needs no introduction from those who quench their thirst from swill of the National Review, proposed this bet with Juan Cole (Informed Comment) on 5-Feb-02:

Anyway, I do think my judgment is superior to his when it comes to the big picture. So, I have an idea: Since he doesn't want to debate anything except his own brilliance, let's make a bet.
