Romney is giving his campaign-suspension speech now. He started it off by bragging about how America never takes land from others. Apparently (and most ironically), he derived this bit of flummery from an Israeli: +++ Simon Peres, in a visit to Boston, was asked what he thought about the war in Iraq. “First,” he said, …
