Rotting, yes, in many ways. Particularly the moral character of many our political leaders, who are willing to accept the vision of an America held hostage by terrorists, for the rest of our lives. Even if there was only a slim chance we can win this thing, it shows neither character nor smart politics to give up and say we can't.
I wish I could say this administration was better than the last, and that we had leaders of integrity. How can anyone do that when they withhold all evidence of such? Even going back 20 years' worth of presidential papers. What are trying to hide?
Maybe nothing, but it sure doesn't look good. And it's dumb politics. The only conclusion is hubris to the extent they think they can control that information, but I don't think so, I think it's inevitable, whether incriminating, or silly, that it'll come out. Meanwhile they lose credibility, and an opportunity for leadership. |
