You are by far my favorite writer on the matters of the contemporary politics in USA, digby and tristero being close second.
But this article I would certainly put in the instant classic category (the subtle humor is especially appreciated by the legal immigrant -me- from the scary USSR).
I love how you deconstruct the totalitarian tendencies and Utopian neoconservative ideas of imposing and promoting (by force )the ideology in the modern world. We all know what happened before with the people who do not learn from history and do not take into account different stages of cultural and historical development in diverse areas of our planet (bolsheviks).
Take this highest and respectful compliment and token of appreciation of your tireless work from the guy who had spent good chunk of his life under authoritarian rule and knows first hand what this is and how pernicious the government propaganda could be...
absolutely outstanding piece of work.
I have always claimed , that dem/repub devide on the foreign policy issues is not that wide actually. The division line lies in the areas you captured in this article so sharply and precisely.
Great piece, Glen
Happy New Year.
Keep the great work of exposing "Serious" anti-Human DC elite .
My best wishes . Your avid reader.
P.S. Also check D.Larison take on the same problem at Eunomia blog. Great post as well and could be a nice addition to yours....
I may disagree, Glenn.
Peev should have exercised a better judgment and understanding the consequences of publishing the gaffe or slip of the tongue in the moment of sincerity.
But instead she wanted the cheap scoring points and sensationalism, just like many USA journalists.
I do agree with the gist of your post, but calling the HRC a monster did not have to be published...
why do you have so blatantly brazenly lie?
Glenn never said any of those things you manufactured in your false post.
What a shame. I am sorry to have you in my tribe- the Krsitol, Krauthammer clone.
