In short, Iraq, in this sphere as in so many, is not Vietnam. The Vietnam War caused America to swing from extroversion to introversion. The Iraq war has a different dynamic.
That's because in the late 1960's, the Vietnamese were not going around the world carrying out suicide attacks. Vietnamese were not rioting over cartoons. The Vietnamese did not fly planes into skyscrapers. The current conflict has an element of existential menace Vietnam did not have.
Which Iraqis flew planes into skyscrapers?

You oughta package up the blair retraction and the newer poster alerting us to it, and send it to the WaPo, as an example of exactly how easy and harmless it is to say one has made a mistake. Notice in in particular the utter lack of uproar over the (non)issue - due I would think to the strong, clear, immediate mea culpa.

Bobo is behind the TimesShitelect windo. It's basically the kind of thing that Instawanker would write -- he tries to sound distressed that we all have to hate Arabs:
People won't express such quasi-racial views directly to pollsters, but the attitude shows up in the mammoth reaction to the Dubai ports deal, in the spike of people who want the U.S. to eliminate its dependence on Middle East oil, in the reaction to the cartoon riots. A similar attitudinal shift is evident in Europe — in spades.
As I tried to argue in a column about the ports deal, this reaction is a crude overgeneralization, but it's there. As the election season progresses, voters are going to pull candidates in a gritty, bloody-minded direction. No more uplifting talk about freedom. Soon the contest will be over who can be toughest on the crescent menace.
America isn't growing more isolationist. Americans are going to be happy to integrate with the world, just not with the Arab world.

P O'Neill |
Nothing existential about the US Navy in 1964 parking it's ships WITHIN the 12 mile limit to provoke the North Vietnames Navy and also supporting South Vietnamese commandoes who were trying to blow up communications towers in North VietNam.
It seems Ho Chi Minh was just exercising the "Bush Doctrine" where a sovereign nation has a right to protect itself from foreign attack.
Can we rename the Bush Doctrine the Ho Chi Minh Doctrine. After all he used it 40 years before Bush did.

A Scottish distillery said Monday it was reviving a centuries-old recipe for whisky so strong that one 17th-century writer feared more than two spoonfuls could be lethal.
Risk-taking whisky connoisseurs will have to wait, however - the spirit will not be ready for at least 10 years.
The Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay, off Scotland's west coast, is producing the quadruple-distilled 184-proof - or 92 percent alcohol - spirit ``purely for fun,'' managing director Mark Reynier said.
Whisky usually is distilled twice and has an alcohol content of between 40 and 63.5 per cent.

Bobo still luvs Chimpy -- he just sez that Chimpy is too broad-minded for the Merkin people
George Bush's brand [of internationalism] was based on the premise that Arabs aren't very different from anybody else, and can be brought into the family of democratic nations. This brand is, sadly, fading.
The rising internationalism is based, by contrast, on Arab exceptionalism. This is the belief that while most of the world is chugging toward a globally integrated future, the Arab world remains caught in its own medieval whirlpool of horror. The Arab countries cannot become quickly democratic; their people aren't ready for pluralistic modernity; they just have to be walled off so they don't hurt us again.

(CBS4) DENVER Arapahoe County is threatening to fire a veteran Public Works employee for promoting the fact that he is an English speaking American.
"They claim it's offensive and I've been accused of discrimination and harassment, believe it or not, because of this," said Mike Gray, a heavy equipment operator with the Arapahoe County Road and Bridge Department for 16 years.
The problems began last spring. Gray, 50, owns a lawn service business on the side. He was routinely driving to work in his pickup truck towing a trailer that he uses to carry lawn mowing equipment for his business. On the side of his trailer, the married father of two affixed a sign that reads "Lawn Services Done With Pride!! By An English Speaking American."

Prior, thanks for the comment. The fishermen who are now out of work because of cod depletion are hunting the seals in Atlantic Canada. The seals are not going extinct by any stretch of the imagination, though the teary-eyed pups certainly do have appeal.
Polar bears... are not south of Cape Chidley, so they aren't in the equation.

There's been a bit of a shitstorm in Denver lately over this teacher because he criticized Bush and some student taped him and ran to wingnut radio. Malkin and others have been making an example of him. He's been suspended while the *very* wealthy school district (Cherry Creek) decides what to do. Here's an example of his "unhinged" speech:
Discussing President Bush's speech the previous night: "The implication was that the solution to the violence in the Middle East is democratization. And the implication through his language was that democracies don't go to war. Democracies aren't violent. Democracies won't want weapons of mass destruction. This is called blind, naive faith in democracy. Who is probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth? (student answer — "India") The United States of America, and we're a democracy, quote, unquote. Who has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world? (student answer — unintelligible) United States. Who is continuing to develop new weapons of mass destruction as we speak? (student answer — unintelligible) United States."

Question: How many Republicans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Answer: Ten.
1. One to deny that the lightbulb needs to be changed.
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the lightbulb needs to be changed.
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the lightbulb.
4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the lightbulb or they are for darkness.
5. One to give a billon-dollar, no-bid contract to Halliburton for a new lightbulb.
6. One to arrange a photographer of Bush dressed as a janitor standing on a step ladder under a huge banner:
"Lightbulb Change Accomplished!"
7. One administration insider to resign and write in detail how Bush was literally in the dark.
8. One to viciously smear No. 7.
9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong lightbulb changing policy all along.
10. And finally, one to confuse the American people about the difference between screwing a lightbulb and screwing the country.

The White House hastened to correct Bush's reference to Pakistan as an Arab nation, and said he meant to say in the Muslim world.

Out of practice? Seems to me she should be exhausted:
In Greek mythology, Nemesis is the goddess of divine justice and vengeance. Her anger is directed toward human transgression of the natural, right order of things and of the arrogance causing it. Nemesis pursues the insolent and the wicked with inflexible vengeance. Her cult probably originated from Smyrna. She is regarded as the daughter of Oceanus or Zeus, but according to Hesiod she is a child of Erebus and Nyx.
She is portrayed as serious looking woman with in her left hand a whip, a rein, a sword, or a pair of scales. In the Hellenistic period she was portrayed with a steering wheel. Also called Rhamnusia, from a temple and statue of her in Rhamnus, a village in the northern part of Attica. The epithet Adrasteia "she whom none can escape", properly of the those of the Phrygian Cybele, was later applied to her.

She has gone a little bit soft in the head, sad to say, and we have trouble getting her to participate in the nectar bash reunions we have. She is wondering the world somewhere, tearing her hair off.

Thers is like a stream of bat's piss.
I once was at Joyce conference and was sitting in the audience for a paper read by a really nice guy, but the paper was, well, dull. The guy noticed that nobody was paying attention, about ten minutes in, so he just yelled out "BAT SEMEN!" Scared the daylights out of everyone.
The punchline is that the "bat semen" reference turned out to actually be an integral part of the paper. Who knew?
