Dover Bitch-Slapped

It's rare-to-never that I'll blog-roll somebody after one read...but I really enjoyed this compare/contrast of JFK's enlightened handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis vs. the current Executive Branch's mind-numbing obsession with playground pea-cocking. Dover Bitch concludes in The Neocon Mind:

So here we are today, on the brink of a war with Iran. Our nation (and Israel) considering using tactical nukes. An administration convinced the enemy only understands force and we must escalate and expand a war we are losing because any sign of weakness will "embolden" them.

A regional conflict which some in Washington have described as having the potential to become a "miniature Armageddon" or "potential World War III" and an administration comprised entirely of neocons.

There's nobody even as level-headed as Robert Freaking McNamara, nor is George W. Bush remotely as smart as John F. Kennedy.

God help us all.

Indeed.

--And, seriously: God, prove your existence, and smite these lunatics!

In the meantime, DB, you've been blog-rolled...
