“Nevertheless, the Western World did not complain in 1933 because Hitler, though a fascist and a totalitarian, was seen, like countless American puppet dictators today, as someone who leaves the established order in place.”

Obama has become what he once derided.

Dear Mr. President:

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

                   == John Stuart Mill
                   == English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

The usual anti-everything mentality I experienced in my '60's college days, but perhaps better written, Columbia being an Ivy League school.

However, the advertisement for the Amsterdam Cafe on the last page looks interesting. Yummmmm.
