David Brooks writes in the New York Times that everything is coming up roses in the Middle East despite the nay-sayers and Likud/Neocon/Dubya/Sharon bashers in and out of the major media.
Well maybe, but if this is true, why is it true?
Why is Sharon "suddenly" warming to his Labor Party? Why is Egypt suddenly working for free trade with Israel? Why this NEW DAWN according to Mr Brooks?
Well first, there is no proof of a NEW DAWN, only a real fear of being FIVE MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT in Israel, in the Middle East, and in the US.
THE ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL INCOMPETENCE OF SHARON AND DUBYA IN THEIR
POLICY CHOICES IN THE MIDDLE EAST HAS SHOWN PEOPLE THE DARK ABYSS OF WAR;
AND THE DYSTOPIA OF RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE!!
NOW AT LAST, RATIONAL MODERNIST PEOPLE ARE REPULSED BY IT!
WORLD OPINION IS NOT ADMITTING THAT SHARON AND DUBYA AND THE NEOCONS ARE "RIGHT" ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST;
WORLD OPINION IS FINALLY REALIZING THAT SOME HOW, SOME WAY, THE MATURE AND REASONABLE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD MUST FIND A WAY TO STOP THE INCOMPENTENT THEOCRATS WHO ARE RUNNING THE WORLD'S GEO-POLITICS IN WASHINGTON AND IN ISRAEL!
KNOW THIS, GENTLE READER, SHARON AND DUBYA ARE STILL AS STUPID AS EVER!
THEY WON'T CHANGE.
WHAT MIGHT CHANGE ARE THE OPINIONS OF THE REST OF US, WHO ARE STILL "ATTACHED TO REALITY AND MODERN THINKING"
AND THE FEW, WHO ARE STILL PUTTING "TWO AND TWO TOGETHER," AND FINDING "FOUR,"
NOT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS AND THE RAPTURE!
YOU MIGHT CALL THIS THE WORLD'S COLLECTIVE: VACCINATION RESPONSE!!
SIMILAR TO THE WAY THE BODY CREATES AN ANTI-BODY TO AN INVADING VIRUS OR BACTERIA!
WORLD OPINION HAS CONGEALED AGAINST THE ISRAELI THEOCRATS AND THE MORONIC NEOCONS IN WASHINGTON WITH HORROR!
NO ONE IS SAYING THE NEOCONS AND THE LIKUD WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE
"BIBICAL RIGHT" ISRAEL TO TAKE THE WEST BANK;
OR ABOUT DUBYA SPREADING DEMOCRACY BY OPTIONAL CHRISTIAN INVASIONS OF THE HOLY LANDS OF ISLAM!!
WHAT WE MIGHT BE SEEING IS A GLOBAL REACTION TO THE "SO HORRIBLY
WRONG" POLICIES OF DUBYA AND SHARON!!
BROOKS MIGHT THANK DUBYA AND SHARON FOR BEING "SO WRONG" ON SO MANY THINGS THAT--FINALLY--THEY HAVE CAUSED A GLOBAL REACTION AMONG THE RATIONAL MODERNIST WING OF GEO-POLICITIANS AND PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS;
AND A GLOBAL SENSE THAT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM CATASTROPE AND DUBYA AND SHARON AND THE NEOCONS AND THE LIKUD!
SORRY, DAVID! NICE TRY!
BUT, NO ONE EVER SAID BEING A "CONSERVATIVE PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL" WOULD BE EASY!
AS YOU SEEM TO BE FINDING OUT NOW WITH EVERY NEW COLUMN.
