Antiwar cowboyphobics
Mark Steyn:
...
"...I could as easily have cited Sir Malcolm Rifkind or Sir Max Hastings, both broadly conservative types driven bonkers by their cowboyphobia.
" 'It is hard not to hate George Bush,' wrote Hastings the other day. 'His ignorance and conceit, his professed special relationship with God, invite revulsion. A few weeks ago, I heard a British diplomat observe sagely: `We must not demonise Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz.' Why not? The US defence secretary and his assistant have implemented coalition policy in Iraq in a fashion that makes Soviet behaviour in Afghanistan in the 1970s appear dextrous.'
...
"The real story of this past year is not Saddam, but something deeper, symbolised by the bizarre persistence of the 'anti-war' movement even after the war was over. For a significant chunk of the British establishment and for most of the governing class on the Continent, if it's a choice between an America-led West or no West at all they'll take the latter. That's the trend to watch in the year ahead."
The antiwar pukes have a combination of arrogance and ignorance that is unfortunately not very rare.
