The Dietrich Bonhuffers Mark Steyn The Corner It’s odd the way the Huffers over at Arianna’s pad can’t seem to decide whether the Cheney assassination attempt is an obvious put-up job… <<< Sounds like a bullshit attempt. The VP is inside some sort of compound and they blow up a bomb at the front door? Christ, at least lob a few grenades INTO the compound. >>> …or whether it’s a genuine act of exemplary moral courage: <<< Isn’t this the moral dilemma that Deitrich Bonheoffer found himself in when he chose to join a plot to assasinate Hitler. If we know that Cheney is plotting to light up the entire Middle East region by instigating an attack on Iran, if we know he is lying to do so, if we know that he is launching these wars to line the pockets of his corporate friends, and establish hegemony around the globe, if we know that he intends to hijack civil liberties and destroy constitutional government in this country, should we cheer if someone could stop him before hand? >>> What? All you’re going to do is cheer? If he’s intending to "destroy constitutional government in this country", shouldn’t you get off your big Huff duff and join in, you lazy old armchair insurgent? What are you, a chickenhawk conspiracist? Why should it be left to a few brave patriots to dress up as a bunch of Pushtun goatherds and go liberate America from the Hitlerburton Reich? My fellow Torontonian Kathy Shaidle said it best on the conspiracists: I wonder if the nuts even believe what they are saying. Because if something like 9/11 happened in Canada, and I believed with all my heart that, say, Stephen Harper was involved, I don't think I could still live here. I'm not sure I could stop myself from running screaming to another country. How can you believe that your President killed 2,000 people and in between bitching about this, just carry on buying your vente latte and so forth? What did you do in the Great War of Liberation, daddy? I went to Starbucks and left a comment on Arianna’s blog. corner.nationalreview.com relapsedcatholic.blogspot.com
