it is ironic that the liberal foreign policy outlook is predicated on the very condescension, naivete, and ignorance with which they attack their domestic political opponents. their view rests on the propositions that al qaeda is weak, such weakness dooms them beforehand and renders their ideology preposterous, and anyway how can spain become something other than spanish anyway – is that not a collosal misrepresentation so absurd that it must come from fearmongering-profiteering propoganda and/or hysteria? that is, to the extent they think even this precisely at all in the nanoseconds between the mouthing of axioms they are hourly fed.

if they had any brains in their supposedly sophisticated heads, they might wonder – Hey, the Arab world doesn’t really seem to be competent at anything, at all, so how have their most high-profile representatives managed this grand strategic coup presently threatening our country’s very political cohesion? Isn’t that kind of incredible, just from a Martian-type perspective? I mean look at that picture: a fanatical Egyptian surgeon and a born-again Saudi trustfund baby supposedly set up or co-opted basically a worldwide network intelligence network capable of, among other things, forcing the United States military to entirely reinvent itself. And yet these are people from a society that still, one years after their invention, cannot even build their own cars and airplanes. Does no else think that’s suspiciously stunning?

Oh but of course let’s not notice that the KGB runs the Russian government, or that the Chinese Communist Party is still comfortably in power in Beijing. No – that couldn’t have anything to do with anything. After all, if we acknowledge it, the world will spontaneously combust in global thermonuclear war – and they’ll take away our abortion rights! Just don’t look! Attackt the Republicans! What a bunch of demoralized idiots. Thank god our country is still too big and powerful to be completely subverted. But then, of course, we have little Obama there in the wings…
