I just cover my eyes and scroll past the Atlantic banner and pretend that she's still just some random blogger babbling to herself in some obscure corner of the internet, and not someone who gets paid for to spittle her ill-informed, badly written nonsense. <BR/><BR/>I salute you gentlemen for braving it yourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-77201190071523529102008-03-25T21:07:00.000-04:002008-03-25T21:07:00.000-04:00Clever, it's not as if you're actually reading her...Clever, it's not as if you're actually reading her web log.

Megan's cosmopolitan? The woman who thinks every single issue in the world can be reduced to one of HER personal anecdotes or experiences? You've got to be kidding me. You can't get any more provincial than that.<BR/><BR/>And no occupying force in the history of occupation has ever believed what they were doing was motivated by sinister intentions. Be it the belief that their culture was superior and could offer enlightenment or salvation through [insert diety here], to the British thinking there's no way anyone wouldn't want to live their way of life as an excuse for chasing an empire where the sun never set, or missionaries sincere concern that they were "saving" the souls of their converts, I can guaran-fucking-tee nearly all invasions or occupations were carried out by people who thought they were "well-meaning," no matter how wrong they may have been or continue to be.<BR/><BR/>And if she's so bloody cosmopoliton, why *didn't* she pay more attention to how the Iraquis would feel? "I'm cosmopolitan, but I live in the best country in the world and I don't give a shit what people who don't think and feel."<BR/><BR/>Uh-huh. The stupid. It burns!
