Ezra Klein apparently corrected himself:
At this point, the White House has a surprisingly good plan to avoid war while achieving the limited goal of disarming Assad’s chemical arsenal. But it relies on them making a very bad argument for a much larger war with much broader, more humanitarian, objectives.
If we can maintain national unity in rejecting calls to attack Syria now, surely we will later do the same in opposing a pre-emptive strike on Iran, the way things are trending now?
That's the real fear on display over Syria, I suspect...
not so much the dying Syrian children.

You can find the original error still up in the 'speech reax' compilation, over at sullivan's blog. Interesting none of his co-editors picked up on that.
