Mccain's Iraq plan revolves around a fantasy There are tons of people who "support" the war or "support" the troops. But there are limited numbers of people that seem willing to "support" this war enough to stick their own necks out. So it all seems to boil down to a fairy-tale wherein politicians push the idea that simply "supporting" or "believing" in something will make it work. I've seen this happen in the movies but it always involves a young kid concentrating so hard that his forehead between his eyes gets all furrowed. Then suddenly the magic lion, or whatever, comes back to life, or the army of warriors comes stampeding over the hill... Its all a variation on the "good will triumph over evil if we just all believe in ourselves" storyline, and I'm starting to wonder just how pernicious this whole fantasy is. It slides in right alongside the common religious line that says that "we will win because god is on our side". The problem is not, as it might seem, that we are trying to accomplish a goal with the wrong tools. It is, rather, that there are people who don't believe. | |
