No one eviscerates the war-mongering neo-con like Karen Kwaitkowski:
[Robert] Kagan [in the Washington Post] is playing with toy soldiers on a green felt battlefield. The rest of the country, inconveniently for the increasingly nervous Jacobins in Washington, has suddenly grown up. We see dead people, and we are tired of idiotic foreign policy allegories of sheriffs and outlaws, cowboys and Indians, Venus and Mars.The vast majority of Americans already know we had no reason to invade and occupy Iraq, beyond neoconservative fantasies and false loyalties, establishmentarian greed, a cowardly Congress and a remarkably stupid and irresponsible President.
Andrew Carnegie would be rolling over in his grave to see what his guilt money produced. He was a man of peace who tried to prevent the World War he saw coming by paying Theodore Roosevelt to go talk some sense into Kaiser Wilhelm. The old steel baron also didn't hold with inherited fortunes and gave away nearly all his loot to build public libraries and buy church organs and work for peace, NOT to bankroll war-gaming neocons.
Go, Karen, go!
