Politics: Out of Step
After the last election, after each environmental rollback, after every lame international mis-step, after each staggeringly audacious incident of doublespeak and revision of history, after each maddening Bush administration move is met with a shrug and a bleat from the fast-food addled listless masses of Americans, I'm reminded that I am clearly out of step with the American people. I don't agree with them on much of anything. But I hope the 55 percent in this poll who say that they support attacking Iraq pre-emptively and without UN Security Council backing have some great plan for recovering Iraq, repairing the U.S. economy, bringing all those dead soldiers back to life, ending global Islamic terrorism, protecting us from a nuclear-armed militant revolution in Pakistan and... oh, to hell with it.
