Yea, I read it earlier and considered posting it, but thought I'd lay off a
bit. But since you've done it for me, I'll post this part, which hits a few
points that have been tossed around here:
"Let me see if I may cause further upset. Two propositions: The first is
that much of what is passing for pacifism in this instance is not pacifism
at all but only the latest tedious manifestation of a well-known
pre-existing condition: the largely reactionary, largely incoherent, largely
silly muddle of anti-American, anti-corporatist, anti-globalist sentiments
that passes for the politics of the left these days. The second is that,
again in this instance, the antiwar sentiment (to employ a term that
encompasses both genuine pacifism and an opposition to war rooted in
America-hatred) is intellectually dishonest, elitist and hypocritical."
