Gene Lyons on Administration's temporary insanity

[mooseandsquirrel]

Achieving high rank in President Simple’s administration, the neo-cons—no war veterans among them—convinced him that removing Saddam Hussein, a secular military dictator, was crucial to defeating al-Qa’ida religious fanatics hiding in Pakistani caves several time zones away. With a grateful citizenry strewing rose petals in their path, American liberators would turn Iraq into an Arab Switzerland.

1. Temporary, you say Gene?

Have you listened to any of these guys lately?

2. TEMPORARY, MY EYE!

Don't get me started......

"The stakes are higher than many Americans understand. Should the ceasefire hold, French diplomats and U. N. bureaucrats will have rescued Israel and Hezbollah from a conflict both appear to have blundered into, saving countless civilian lives. A brokered peace also would confound neo-conservative zealots eager to start what Newt Gingrich excitedly calls World War III to “defend civilization.” As such, a cease-fire could mark the beginning of the end of a period of temporary insanity in American life. Or not. "


Wilful stupidity and arrogance is not my definition of a "blunder".

I'd like to hope this insanity will end, but if it were, it should have ended a long time ago--regardless of 9/11.
