Entry: The Past Is Another Country--Counter-factual History and the Buchanan Controversy Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_past_is_another_country_counterfactual_history_and_the_buchanan_controv#29822 Post contents: RonL's Manichean, black and white thinking continues to betray him as suffering from Neocon intellectual patterns. Hadar correctly observes that Neocons suffer from “party line” thinking, which debilitates them intellectually, and distorts an objective search for truth and reason, which then manifests in warped policy positions. When RonL says Pat's thinking "follows a pattern set by his refusal to understand Islam. Pat refuses to see our enemies as such and keeps himself willfully ignorant," he correctly puts his finger on a phenomenon, but not one that applies to Buchanan, but rather to Neocons who subscribe to Zionist party line ideology. For Zionists, nearly every US Mideast policy is approached through the lens of "Is it good for Israel?" instead of "Is it good for America?" They then keep themselves willfully ignorant and in denial of any policies that are good for America, but bad for Israel, and ruthlessly attack those who do not. The Iraq war flowed from this kind of thinking, as does the push for war with Iran. Any time a Zionist writes something like “Pat refuses to see our enemies..." the question has to be asked: who do they mean by “our” -- Israel or America? What interest does America have in making an enemy of Islam? Sent at: 2008 12 02
