What Stoller And Sun Tzu Said

Okay, so Frank Rich does a good job of itemizing all of Dubya’s evil with respect to war and torture, and to a certain extent he is correct that Americans in general are culpable for “allowing” him to get away with it. But as Sun Tzu points out, the biggest reason that most Americans have passively allowed it to continue, the biggest reason that Dubya was re-elected to continue his rampage, was because the media relentlessly sold them on it.
Worse yet, as Stoller points out, it was only one month ago that Rich slammed MoveOn for doing exactly what Rich laments that no-one is doing.
Rich sounds like a progressive most of the time, but he’s awfully protective of the media and political establishment’s turf. He laments that Americans aren’t fighting against BushCo, yet he resents those who are. Maybe he’s waiting for a centrist establishment uprising.

My guess is no one knows what to do. Congress critters seem reluctant to do their jobs.
That’s what I hate about elections. They come so often and elected officials are usually timid in between them.
I guess we could load hundreds of people in airplanes and go to Dubay, but that would hardly be fruitful and people can’t afford that.
