Yglesias and Woolsey
Got annoyed with an Yglesias post today. Seems that he doesn’t much trust James Woolsey. Which is fine, except that he tried to smear him with the label:
James “the new war is actually against three enemies: the religious rulers of Iran, the ‘fascists’ of Iraq and Syria, and Islamic extremists like al Qaeda” Woolsey?
Not that Woolsey needs me to defend him, but I had to ask:
I’m sorry, but which of these three groups do you believe is not fighting us? Or is it simply that though they would like to fight us, they are too insignificant to warrant our attention? Perhaps we should simply “contain” them to keep their atrocities local? After all, as long as they do nothing more than oppress Muslims and murder religious minorities (or an occasionally insufficiently pious Muslim), what’s it to us?
I don’t really expect an answer.
