Perspective? I'll Give You Perspective!
I wasn't going to post tonight but then I read this:
So you can use this as a club against Bush and his foreign policy; or you can use it against not only Clinton's foreign policy, but his alleged committment to deficit reduction. But these sorts of arguments miss the point, which is that these guys are doing what we want them to. We wanted them to tell us we could have it all: small military, and high security. Like the other things we want from politicians, such as higher spending and lower taxes, greater personal freedom and tighter communities, less police and more safety, and so on, this turned out not to be possible. And while it's fine to yell at politicians who tell us that these things are possible, we also need to yell at ourselves, who won't vote for them unless they do.
Sheez, just read the whole thing.
