Social Justice

The last few days have drawn back the curtain from around a democratic party secret so hideous that a book about it went somewhat ignored.

Accompanying the mindless furor over Joe Lieberman's attempt to avoid the commissar enforced dialectic of the left, HAMAS and Hizballah did what they do best, and have set off something unexpected, and prompted what only those on the left (today) can do, something it is now apparent they MUST do, are compelled to do, cannot and don't want to resist doing.

I have detailed George Soros undaunted view that the US 'agenda' endangers the world and that "the United States has become an obstacle to a stable and just world". We can now see that Israel can be added.

Israel fights Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, but its most formidable enemy is history itself. ( a nice attempt, but the intent is clear and unmistakeable, and it's hopeless despair a hallmark of those who cannot imagine what victory is like, or are willing to imagine the price of it, for any price will be too high..Cohen goes on to call Tony Judt a gifted historian ..Judt a defender of of Walt and Mearsheimer)
