To comment on every problem in a recent Victor Hanson piece. Hanson writes:
>Yet American Cassandras are old stuff. Grim Charles Lindberg in the late 1930s lectured a Depression-era America that Hitler’s new order in Germany could only be appeased, never opposed.
Sadly, No! responds:
>Oop. Oh well.
>It should be noted that:
>a.) You spelled “Lindbergh” wrong.
>b.) Lindbergh was a conservative who had sympathies with hardcore nationalist ideologies, while modern liberals don’t.
>c.) After Saddam was ousted from Kuwait in the ’90s, he never invaded another country again; not exactly the stuff Hitlers are made of. Iran hasn’t exactly been bowling over Poland and France either, y’know.
>d.) The WWII analogies are tired and boring. Look for some new ones. May I suggest my own brilliant essays on the Left’s failure to learn the lessons of Cola Wars and the Punic Wars?
I’ve just posted my thoughts on this terribly researched column at Townhall about the effects of DDT. Its amazing how these people consider the entire scientific community as just another liberal activist group.
