Aid and Comfort
Mona Charon

When I wrote Useful Idiots, I speculated about the motives of American liberals and leftists who more or less openly rooted for America's enemies. Some of this behavior was attributable to romantic attachment to the idea of Marxism, which many had absorbed to varying degrees at our "best" universities. But the advent of the current war against Islamofascism has been clarifying. For here is an enemy, unlike, say, the Sandinistas or the Soviets, that makes no pretense (however empty) of representing the poor; that condemns and deplores that beacon of liberalism, the Enlightenment; that cheerfully oppresses women and minorities; and that celebrates the stoning of homosexuals. And yet even against this enemy, the American Left cannot help but hope for American failure.
