*International Perspective*

#1 Timothy Garton Ash:

"Garton Ash noted that he had been "alarmed by the militarization of
political rhetoric in the U.S." over the past three years and by the
fact that, under Bush, "[t]oo often, the country seems to be engrossed
in a mythic, heroic narrative of patriotic, martial prowess." In fact,
he suggested, to "win this struggle together," the United States,
European nations and other countries "need to be both strong and
wise." For Garton Ash, this means "recognizing that this is a war that
war can't win."

Umm, like what they would have called post Pearl Harbor "rhetoric" back in the '40's???
