THE GLOBAL THRONG
Victor Davis Hanson reminds us of and documents much of the "...lunacy that appeared after 9/11..." and that we still see today from the Left. A must read for all, particularly if you are of the Left.
The Money Quote:
"Perhaps the result of this frustration is that European intellectuals damn the United States for action in Iraq, but lament that they could do nothing in the Balkans. Democrats at home talk of the need for idealism abroad, but fear the dirty road of war that sometimes is part of that bargain - thus the retreat into "democracy is good, BUT..." So here we have the global throng that focuses on one purported American crime to the next, as it simmers in the luury of its privilege, education, and sophistication - and exhibits little power, new ideas, intellectual seriousness, or relevance."
"Why the world's elites gnash their teeth." is the sub-title and it couldn't be more accurate!
