The Years of Shame
Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?
Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd. What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?
The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.
I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons.

Calling Paul Krugman a dumbass moron makes legitimate dumbass morons look bad.

Krugman is a scrunt who enriched himself by hating America.  NYT was correct for pulling this, but, then they realize it was garnering more hits than they'd had in months, so they put it back up.  Krugman belongs with a despicable paper like the NYT.

Krugman's is Deluded

Paul Krugman wrote this post yesterday on the anniversary of 9/11.

In the post, Krugman “argues” (if it can be called that) that the response to 9/11 by President Bush and his administration was essentially an act of political opportunism. He claims that Bush, rather than responding in a way to advance the safety of our civilization, employed the crisis to advance an unrelated political agenda. Krugman ignores completely the fact that the United States, the Blair Administration in England, the nations of Pakistand and Saudi Arabia and the United Nations all participated in the “coalition of the willing” to attack the terrorists and remove Saddam Hussein.

History will judge Krugman’s view to be that of a pipsqueak opponent to the rational, adult response to a truly existential threat. For those not willing to wait for history, here is a brief synopsis of the events of 9/11 and the ensuing reaction of our leaders.

What happened on 9/11, and thereafter, is simple.

A nice commentary on 'the Krugman delusion' as it were.

Well said, and H5!

Krugman is just another radical-chic Manhattan Liberal party scene 'Intellectual' dipshit from the 60s who has outlived his time, and is like the senile great-great uncle playing with his limp member in the corner at the family reunion, with everyone ignoring him.
