Victor Davis Hanson on National Review Online

This is unbelievable bullshit.

A few days ago I was exchanging e-mails with a good American friend, and added that from his previous e-mail, I sensed that he was a supporter of George W, the "missunderestimated", the "master of low expectations", as described by himself.

Next thing I know from him is he's writing me a long e-mail full of arrogant American bullshit. He says that if he were in Iraq or North Korea, he'd be praying everyday for the US armed forces to come to his hometown.

How much stupidity! And this is coming from a highly educated American! Yes, their leaders might be terrible criminals, but I say leave Iraqi problems to the Iraqis, and Korean problems to the Koreans. Who told you that you're blessed with the wisdom of the universe and you have the right stomp your feet whenever you like to make the world dance to your beat?

He even sent me a link to the article that you see above this blog entry. He suggested me to read it, and I did. It's so full of falacies. I'm surprised a Master's degree holder could fall for that.

On top of that, he bitches about the French and the German. At one point he says that the French define Paris as a function of Washington, in the form of the "Non-Washington". Excuse me, but I've been searching Google for a while, and I can't find any reference to that. Maybe he heard that from "a single, non confirmed source" like happened with some of the WMD claims?
