Posted by Bill *** Moral of the story? Never trust someone that aggressively clings to a lie as big as Communism.
Human nature being what it is, I like reading sharp, conclusion-heavy punditry as much as the next guy. Nothing beats being told you are right and your critics are wrong. Mark Steyn and Charles Krauthammer have made quite a career out of that sort of thing on the Right; John Pilger and Robert Scheer have made careers out of it from the Left; Thomas Friedman has made a career out of switch-hitting. It's arrogant and false to unequivocally state that all of those that came to an opposing view on something as multifactorial as the invasion of Iraq were stupid or naturally wrong. We're all just making informed plays on stocks here. That being said, especially with regard to foreign policy, many on the left have been metaphorically backing pork bellies and haberdasheries, whereas many on the right have been pushing energy and biotechnology. I know which play I'd rather make. UPDATE: Bellissima! [Lights go down. The set is lit only by two spotlights that look like the headlights of the waiting car] Posted by Bill at March 11, 2005 11:05 AM | TrackBack (5) Commentsumm didn't anakin get hit into a volcano on tatooine? I mean what the heck was the point of lucas making all these novel and comic book artist suffer his continuity department if he sure as heck wouldn't suffer it Posted by: karasoth I like a good frisson as much as the next guy. But a "frisson of reinforcement" sounds about as compelling as "interesting stew." |
