[lbo-talk] RE: how's it feel?

[Max B. Sawicky]

I am optimistic because it looks like the Bushies
will overreach.  They are too greedy, too full of
their own putrid ideas.  Syria I feel will be a
political bridge too far.  Whoever thought Larry
Eagleburger would be a comfort.

Their domestic front is weaker all the time, IMO.

The right slogan now I think would come from the
following idea, simply stated:  "o.k., the war is
over, now it's time to bring the troops home.  Leave
the reconstruction to international bodies."

As a side note, the unfolding breach on the left,
between benign colonialists and non-interventionists
puts the Dissentchiks back into Dustbin City, pretty
much where the anti-Vietnam War movement left them
in the 70s.  Fence-straddlers like our friend Nathan
will reap no more than a pain in their arse.

More U.S. bullying, less attention to domestic priorities,
and more interventions will stoke radicalization.

I feel better than James Brown.
