If Continetti is at all representative of the caliber of today's college students we are doomed. NB his:
"... when antiwar activists and intellectuals hear presidential rhetoric, read the New York Times, and watch CNN, they see an entirely different set of facts than pro-war liberals and conservatives, and use an entirely different set of definitions in interpreting world events. ...
"In other words: Let's pretend that al Qaeda didn't kill 3,000 innocents, and that merciless regimes like Saddam Hussein's wouldn't help them do it again and again. Tenured professors ensconced in Ivory Tower echo chambers — like those in the Low Library rotunda on Wednesday night — can afford to turn a blind eye to the harsh realities of a dangerous world. The rest of us cannot."
Let's pretend indeed. Let's pretend Saddam Hussein helped al Qaeda in the first place.
It's not that antiwar activists see a "different set of facts" than hawks, it's that antiwar activists see facts and hawks don't.
