True, the Clinton "legacy" is now a bigger wreck then I thought possible. It now includes an America vulnerable to terrorism, that must completely rebuild its defense structure for a new kind of struggle for survival. There are specifics that hurt the liberals badly politically, and they would have been brought forward gradually through this decade without September 11. They have now been accelerated because of the tragedy. On a more academic level, the intrinsic corruption of liberal thought stems from its rejection of the idea of Western Culture (from which it sprang) as superior to those of the rest of the world. The "Eastern alternatives" and the "judgment free" study of other peoples' "ways" has been a fashionable academic decadence in the West for most of the Twentieth Century, and is reflected in the decadence of the left itself. The long-run effect of September 11 is not really a military struggle, or even a new Pax Americana, even though both of those will be a reality within a few years. The long run effect is going to be our nation, and the nations of Europe, purging themselves of the intellectual decadence into which we have all fallen over the last 100 years...
