I know Jonah has written in response to recent grumbling from KOS and James Wolcott, two spokesmen for the post-humanitarian, post-democratic, neo-Buchananite left. Apparently, they are devastated by the fact that Afghan girls can go to school, that Iraqis can vote, that Lebanese are demonstrating for freedom, that Egyptians may get a fair election, etc. And, most upsetting for them, President Bush could be partly responsible for these revolting developments — at least that’s what their erstwhile allies are suggesting in what used to be reliable publications such as the Guardian and L’Express.
Now Kos & Wolcott also are up in arms – well, figuratively anyway – because, as they see it, those wild-eyed neo-cons are saying nasty things about Hezbollah. And Hezbollah, they believe, isn’t so bad – it’s only interested in killing Israelis, so what’s the big deal?
Apparently, they are ignorant of the fact that until 9/11, Hezbolllah (backed by Syria and Iran) had killed more Americans than any other terrorist organization — more than 250 Americans, in fact, including Marines, diplomats and CIA officers.
But if they don’t know any of this, it’s not my job to tell them.
