This was a good letter from Bernard-Henri Levy (I hope everyone here is
also subscribed to pnews-news?). It does raise several
questions which are worth pondering here.
He writes:
And I'm not even talking about Bush. I won't even mention Bush's gross
lies about the
Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, except for the sake of assembling the
conclusive
evidence. I know, of course, that you denounce him--but mechanically, I am
almost tempted
to say ritualistically. And yet the United States nearly impeached Nixon
because he had
spied on his enemies and lied. They impeached Clinton for a venial lie
about inappropriate
conduct. How is it, then, that it took so long to draw a parallel between
those lies and a
lie about which the least you can say is that its consequences were
anything but venial?
How is it that so few "public intellectuals" have been found, within the
confines of this
formidable, impetuous American democracy, who can bring up the idea of
impeaching George
Bush for lying?
And now Hackett is dropping out of the Senate race in Ohio because he was
pressured by the Democratic Party. How disgusting that is. What kind of
game is this? All because he was too radical for them. Obviously the left
needs to stop supporting the Democrats and get on with the revolution.
