"Dr. Strangelove" -- there's the exact epithet I've been looking for


It was so obvious, but I and most of the conservative commentariat have mostly missed it: the Bushes, Perle, Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, Hillary, Slick, Obummer..... they're all today's Dr. Strangeloves with their total devotion to war and killing. Their genocidal drive to obliterate millions of people based on their race, religion, nationality, or politics -- their vicious and visceral hatred of whoever they feel needs to be anointed as Hitler of the Month in ameriKa's foreign policy!

Dick Cheney was and remains a very special, egregious example -- really, the ultimate Strangelovian since he's still making rounds swearing the Bushoviks were right to get Washington torturing anybody it feels like at its whim, and asserting he'd turn ameriKa into a medieval torture entity all over again without the slightest reservation. In other words, he's a despicable, monstrous antti-human who will nevertheless live out his life crowned with laurel wreaths and treated as a wise, somewhat failed if blessedly well-intentioned "elder statesman."

But leave it to a left-libertarian (or almost liberal) site to find a "new" applicant for this mad mode of doctoral distinction, and write her up as stabbingly as she deserves. Friends, meet Counterpunch.com, Steve Breyman and Anne-Marie Slaughter. But just make sure that if you ever meet Anne-Marie in the flesh, it's not in a dark alley some witches' sabbath:

A Dr. Strangelove for the 21st Century

 This article is good -- very good. Share it with friends as an example of how the true right and true, classic liberals are agreeing on more every day. Don't miss the Paul Craig Roberts column linked there, either!
