The Only Man Who Can Save America Pakistan

Bryan's analysis is spot-on, and here is another example of a childish mind reducing a complex situation to simplistic sound-bite sophistries his limited intellect can comprehend.

The little bitch whines in that effeminate voice of his that, basically, our foreign policy should consist of a Smile Being Our Umbrella and also of course resorts to the Blame America First critique of the crank left/crank right/Anarco-Socialist/Nazi Union.

I do enjoy how the childish leftists constantly make two contradictory complaints: 1) We should engage in more "diplomacy" with these often-unsavory regimes, "talk to them, reason with them," as Doktor Paul screeches like a girl here, and 2) we should not be supporting "military dictators."

Um, asshole? Isn't "supporting" a regime part of "diplomacy"? And which regimes precisely should we be talking with, reasoning with, if not the junta that actually, you know, runs the fucking country? Should we pretend that some group of university protester types is actually running Pakistan and just "talk with, reason with" them while treating the actual ruling claque as undiplomatically as possible, by shunning them?

They have no answers. None at all. They're like Elliot in True Romance screeching in the elevator when a gun is put to his head, "I want to be taken out of here, I don't want to be here anymore!" All they do is attempt to wish the world's problems away. Not confront the problem, not deal with the problem. But simply offer up some glib bumper-sticker Zen bullshit and pretend the problem doesn't exist.

Oh yeah -- and blame America, of course. They're not much for giving advice going forward, but damn, are they quick to glibly claim "It's all America's fault."

It's all they can do. It's not "idealism," it's dementia, and it's cowardice. The world is what it is, not what Herr Doktor Paul and Russ Feingold schoolgirlishly pine for it to be.
