Miss Morford evidently doesn't remember Ronald Reagan. Same song, same dance, and Ronny freed the world despite them all. World opinion doesn't own any divisions.
Let's face it, for all the self-dramatizing of people like Morford who don't like their idiotic opinions criticized, free speech is perfectly safe here and no goons are going to knock on his door for having spewed this incoherent mess all over the paper. Unlike Iraq used to be. Morford seems to forget that in his haste to leap into the standard, boring moral equivalency that is the last refuge of a thoroughly discredited worldview.
He'll be having a real hissy-fit when Dubya gets re-elected. That one will be fun to read.
Probably right, but it's by people who really don't count anyway.
