How I hate to see Americans - who no doubt regard
themselves as sophisticated liberals - chipping away
endlessly, like whining babies in a supermarket, at the exertions
of their own country. OF COURSE no government
is run like a Sunday school. OF COURSE in this hard
world each country must try to serve the interests of its
own citizens. OF COURSE consistency & morality
are irrelevant after the 6th grade debating society.
Grow up.
At least you're that significant, teeny-teeny-teeny bit kinder,
better-intentioned, than the rest. Almost as good, in fact,
as my own people before we withdrew to play the role
of Greece to your Rome.
It will be revealed soon, I'm sure, that it was nothing more
than the CNN Rentacrowd who thronged, laughing & clapping
last night round those young Americans in their APCs as
they prepared to haul Sadam off his plinth. They were bloody
good actors.
Just for a moment, though - just maybe these next 48 hours -
could you stop the cribbing & express some gratitude to those
simple-hearted, bone-headed, probably sadistic militarists
who have brought about a rather fundamental, perhaps even
welcome, change in the lives of a whole lot of Iraqis?
