I weep for all the leftist professors. My heart goes out to all the peace freaks. Violins play drearily for the fearful students who are in anguish. O! Woe is me! My teeth gnash and I rend my shirt! Alas for the left! Their message goes unheard!

Among whom, I think we can number "Palavi_99." Note his/her earlier statement: "Oh well, they killed your civilians. You're killing theirs."

Note how he/she refuses to self-identify as a citizen of any particular country.

I think this is a huge problem these days, kids who do not consider their own country to be anything they identify with, apart from the material benefits it can provide them, all of it defended from historical reality for them by a despised and condescended-to military.

A lot of them or course are still college students, and ipso facto don't have the first notion of how the other world has operated out there. And of course there's the totally "value-neutral" posture (i.e programmed moral relativism), masquerading of course as "intellectual objectivity" -- the pretense of superior information, equivalency between completely non-equivalent events and deeds. Historical illiteracy, self-congratulatory pretention to superior moral insight, all-leveling generalities and ignorance of primary sources, whether contemporary or historical.

In other words the sort of squishy, soft-headed crypto-argument stle usually displayed by pampered, privileged youth during the final states of empire.

In the case of Palavi_99, I'm not at all sure he/she is an American after all. There's just no way to tell any more. There are 11 million undocumented and illegal aliens among us, so who can know?

All the best,
