We just don’t care. As a people, we are no longer capable of sustaining the effort necessary to keep our republic.
There are wolves at the door and we’re so demoralized, so hopelessly feminized, so addicted to comfort that we’re now feeling just fine with being a morsel. Worse, we’ve lost touch to the extent that we’ve deluded ourselves into believing that the wolf, if we’ll just invest a little time, will understand our admonitions. We welcome him to the dinner table and we ask if he’d be kind enough to carve.
What else can one believe given the recent furor over the Islamic Stupidity Group, er, Iraq Study Group? We so desire the return of a simple life and diminished strife that we’re willing to suck this Kool-Aid through a straw and shout, “Damn those Neocons!” Who in their right mind could doubt the sheer brilliance of James Baker and Lee Hamilton and Sandra Day O’Conner (what genius Republican made this pick?) when it comes to abandoning a peoples and striking a well reasoned compromise? Oh, and let us not forget Vernon Jordan! Now there’s seriousness for you. Apparently Jimmy Carter had a previous engagement.
Surely these folks had access to the same materials that Andrew McCarthy relied on for his superb overview, Negotiate with Iran?, published at National Review Online. But of course they did. Perry and Panetta knew these circumstances well; as must Eagleburger-- after all he has 27 years in the Foreign Service-- but only a month with the Stupidity Group.
Bill Bennett summed it up best, “In all my time in Washington I've never seen such smugness, arrogance, or such insufferable moral superiority. Self-congratulatory. Full of itself. Horrible.”
We’re all Murthas now!
