One trick pony

Chris Hedges is one of those tender and enlightened sorts, who – when not writing books comparing Christian fundamentalists in America with fascists – worries terribly about what the war in Iraq is doing to America’s soul. The Mother Jones columnist was against the war in Iraq from the start, you see, although not against war per se. He found the humanitarian interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo quite appropriate since they helped to stop the genocidal slaughter of people whose centuries-old religious differences set them murderously at each other’s throats.

I know, but trust him. It’s complex.
