Hypocrisy and Nuttiness
Fawaz Turki, disinherited@yahoo.com Watch for those guys in the new administration. They are still hell-bent on improving your social morality and your political culture. Never mind that the improvement of the state of your morality and politics is not on your mind this week as you prepare to celebrate the New Year, or that you had never at any time in the past reached out to these well-meaning folks and asked them to help you along in that endeavor. But, yep, you want to know right from wrong, check with George, Condi, Don, Paul, Dick, et. al. because they know what's best for you. And never mind that we had been around the block a few times, learning our poli-sci lessons the hard way, at the whetstone of activist experience, with some of us ending up either in jail, hunted down or in exile, because we had felt so strongly about the issue that we tried to do something about it. But the US, I say, is hell-bent on "introducing" you and me to Jeffersonian principles of civil rights, human rights, women's rights, political rights, democratic rights and heck, name the rights, and these bozos will take them out from under their armpit and hand them over to you like a bouquet of roses. Seriously, folks, the issue here is not the intrinsic worth of these values, which clearly are a necessary function of the growth of any vibrant society, but the hypocrisy and nuttiness of American foreign policy in our part of the world.
