Dan Riehl at Riehl World View linked to my post today (
I don't care that Egyptians threw tomatoes at Hillary Clinton) and delivered this on-target introduction:
What's a few tomatoes, when Americans are being killed?
Unlike our mainstream media, Pundita seems a bit more upset over Americans being killed, than a couple tomatoes hitting a car. Is that so wrong?
Dan is the kind of person I'd want at my side in a trench. What am I saying? Going up against Washington on the matter of its support for Pakistan's military is already a form of trench warfare. Thanks, Dan.
Yes, why does this not upset people more?
ReplyDeleteOur institutional ideas about strategy mean that institutions view fealty to a certain national strategy as overcoming these concerns.
But that is obscene when not in an actual existential war.
