Prediction Fulfilled

Two months ago I predicted that the pro-dictatorship throngs would begin comparing the liberation of Iraq to Hitler's 1939 conquest of Poland.

A Russian source has bitten, and I expect that as dismay begins to smoulder, less scrupulous Western journalists will toss their own insults.

Fifth Columns don't count, since they conspicuously support murderous regimes as a matter of policy. That doesn't preclude any instances for schadenfreude humor, of course. The World Socialist Web Site is complaining about a fellow anti-globalization cabal from Berlin that refused a speaker on the very topic.

Part joy, part sadness to see the turbid, radical, nihilist left doing pirouettes. Egalitarian amorality: there's more than enough moral equivalence to go around!
