Driving The Hearse Blindfolded

In case you missed it the other night, George Bush took no responsibility for plunging the U.S. and Iraq into a catastrophic war from which there seems to be no exit. To some observers, he appeared to shoulder the onus, but he didn’t.

If the political leadership wants to pretend we’re up to our asses in corpses out of sheer goodness, I can’t stop them. But the inevitable result of that fiction is a world that is totally insane. In this vision, an endless stream of dusky foreigners, possessed by evil creeds, continually lure us into their countries and then, in a fit of homicidal ingratitude, turn on us.

No wonder half our adult citizens can’t find France on a map. The world is just too dangerous for them to venture into, unless they’re heavily armed…and even that doesn’t work so well any more. This can’t go on. Americans don’t deserve the truth, they need the truth. And on Wednesday night, they didn’t hear it.
