A while ago I took two shots (1, 2) at Juan Cole over the whole Iraq The Model controversy (if you don't know, don't ask). Cole has now responded. I think it's a pretty classy response. It apologizes for precisely the points that irked me, and holds his most strident critics' feet to the fire over precisely the points where they made themselves most absurd. Worth a read, if you're into that sort of thing.
