Silly Moderates
There’s a NYT Book Review piece today that contains this nugget:
At work, Malcomson struggles to make sense of his country’s new imperial tenor, inviting seasoned policy makers like George Shultz, Richard Holbrooke and James Baker to submit opinion pieces that he hopes will calm the national appetite for war. Ultimately frustrated that the White House has engineered an invasion of Iraq with little evidence and almost no debate, Malcomson quits journalism and goes to work for the United Nations, hopeful that he can roll up his sleeves and at last really do something.
The Malcolmson in question was an Op/Ed editor at the Times.
Here is a succinct summary of why, in a nation without a leftist party, moderates serve only to enable the Right. What moderates like Malcolmson don’t get is that you don’t counter right-wing arguments like Bush’s drive to invade Iraq with “reasonable” conservatives. You counter them with aggressive left-wing counterarguments.
By the way: The Anti-American Manifesto arrives in stores this week. And it looks great.
