Why Rich Lowry Is An Idiot Rich Lowry is an idiot. I couldn't even get through the first sentence of this piece without spitting my Frappucino all over the laptop. "It seems one of the least plausible criticisms of a president who's often portrayed as one of the world's greatest warmongers since Caesar Augustus . . . ." Excuse me, but it was Julius who was the warmonger. It was Julius who cut off the hand of every resisting Gaul in the city of Uxellodunum. It was Julius that crossed the Rubicon River in 49 BC. It was Julius who smashed Pompey's army at Pharsalus. It was Julius who bedded Cleopatra. It was Julius who said, "Veni, Vidi, Vici--I came, I saw, I conquered." Augustus, or Octavian, to be precise, was Julius' adopted son. He was the first emperor of Rome. Rome was at peace for more than 70% of his reign. Oh, what's the use. How can you trust these people to get the present right when they can't get something as simple as this? agonist.org Tom
