Opponents of the Iraq war ought to be happy for two such prominent converts. So why is their conversion so enraging? Well, first, howzabout an apology? It's maddening that there's no cost for being wrong, even when it translates into thousands of people dead and billions of dollars down the drain. In our culture of value-free celebrity, in which a famous ax murderer equals a famous actress equals a famous Nobel Peace Prize winner, Adelman and Perle have merely earned another 15 minutes as hot guests on the talk shows.

...would be wrong to write off the Free Staters entirely, though. Those who have moved have been putting on a display of rambunctious, representative democracy. Some prefer civil disobedience and street demonstrations: one was recently arrested at a local IRS office handing out pamphlets that said, "Hitler had a revenue service too." Although the Free State Project doesn't endorse political candidates, some members have been making competitive runs for local office, including some staunch home-schooling advocates who have been elected to local school boards. With one state legislator for every 3,000 or so citizens (the best ratio...
