True Fantasy

Forget Narnia or even Harry Potter, the most magical fantasy was uttered last night on "Hardball" by Republican Duncan Hunter who made the case for remaining in Iraq until it becomes a land of freedom and joy.

Hunter laid out the plans of neoconservatism: remake the Middle East into a land of free democracy, impose our will on the people of these nations and stay in these countries until this process is complete. Comparing the struggle to communism and facism, Hunter gravely said "We can either let the world change us or we can change the world." (not an exact quote) So there it is.

This is so dangerous a thought I can't begin to address it here. Let it be said though, that America is suffering in spirit, we could use a little remaking of our own. More later.
