I invite everyone to check out
my latest article at LewRockwell.com, written mainly in response to John Hawkins' latest column ("
Five Things You Can't Say in America") on Townhall. Leave comments here if you like. Here's a sample:
This
embrace of utilitarian thinking by conservatives is incredibly disheartening,
but it seems that they are left with no other options. The rationale
for the war has shifted from disarming Saddam, to bringing democracy
to Iraq, to fighting the terrorists there rather than here as the
situation has worsened. When no weapons were found, it became a
fight for democracy. When democracy was established and chaos remained,
suddenly it became a fight against terrorists in Iraq. The prospect
for success has become increasingly dismal, and this latest column
by Hawkins must be seen as a desperate response to this reality,
but still a response that makes no sense morally or practically.
