Dowd on Dubya
Maureen Dowd writes well, but her rhetoric is sometimes over the top. In her latest column, though, she makes this excellent observation:
“It still confuses many Americans that, in a world full of vicious slimeballs, we’re about to bomb one that didn’t attack us on 9/11 (like Osama); that isn’t intercepting our planes (like North Korea); that isn’t financing Al Qaeda (like Saudi Arabia); that isn’t home to Osama and his lieutenants (like Pakistan); that isn’t a host body for terrorists (like Iran, Lebanon and Syria).”
She forgot one nation, though: Colombia, where FARC rebels are holding American military contractors hostage at this very moment.
