Stupidity.

Sully nails the tragedy of the neocon doctrine.

What has neoconservatism achieved? In Afghanistan, the best possible option is a country dominated by an increasingly Islamist and nuclear-armed Pakistan. In Iraq, the best possible option is a country dominated by Shiites far more aligned with Iran than many Sunni Arab states. And so the upshot of the Bush-Cheney years is an empowerment of both Iran and Pakistan, the two Muslim countries either with or close to nuclear capacity. That is the end result of a policy designed above all to prevent WMDs getting into the hands of terrorists. I mean: you couldn't make this up.

And still they want more war. In fact, they are now angling for American support for Sunni Arab states (and Israel) to launch a war against the Shiite power of Iran. Not content with enmeshing the US in two intractable wars, they actually want America to take sides in the ancient intra-Muslim feud between Shiite and Sunni. Yes, that sounds like something brilliant doesn't it? No unintended consequences could come from diving into that briar patch.

The strict adherence to comic incompetence and incredible determination to be played for a fool is baffling. But then, I don't believe that during halftime of the next Super Bowl Jesus is gonna come out with uzis blasting outta both hands to crush those who don't adhere to Limbaughzistan, so what the hell do I know? Sounds like I have a lot to learn at Glenn Beck U!
