Saturday’s Must Reading
I just finished reading Victor Davis Hanson’s column. What a great column it is. It’s clearly today’s must reading. Here’s one of the column’s most stinging rebukes:
All that may, like Vietnam-era street theater, play well to the media. But eventually Iraq, also like Vietnam, will be over, while the protocols and culture of hysteria and derangement, like low-lying marsh gas, will linger and smell. A Henry Jackson or JFK would have had nothing to do with a Michael Moore, who now has entrée with the Democratic elite. If the Republicans were once embarrassed of the Buchanan Right, and the Democrats of the Cindy Sheehan Left, now the Democrats have apparently both of them in their antiwar camp. Good luck…
As I said here,
Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan would’ve chastised her and sent her packing for undercutting the war effort.
Now Professor Hanson has penned something similar in his column. Make sure you read Professor Hanson’s entire column. You won’t regret it.
