A quick entry today to pass along two links:
The first is to Robert Scheer's latest column at The Nation. In "No Room for Logic in Bush Foreign Policy," he steps sure-footed through the oxymoronic morass that is America's current foreign policy, before concluding:
Meanwhile, the Bush Administration remains detached from the destabilizing Israeli-Palestinian nightmare, is struggling to gain footing against Al Qaeda and is apparently indifferent to the successes of Muslim fundamentalism in Chechnya, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine and Pakistan.
Instead, we are mobilizing our massive forces against a weakened secular dictator 6,000 miles away who doesn't seem to have had anything to do with a series of devastating terrorist attacks.
What is happening here? Certainly not the construction of a coherent foreign policy aimed at increasing the security of the United States or our allies.
This is an Administration that in two years has so mucked up our approach to the world that merely applying the demands of logic is made to appear unpatriotic.
Here's the other link, which will take you to my response to Ingmar Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly. Enjoy. And Happy New Year!
