It’s like talking to the cat

Richard Fernandez nails the current disconnect between our war-fighters and war-deniers:

Some kind of brain fog has

descended upon Western Civilization, a species of madness or abstraction that

makes victory against the enemy impossible, not simply because victory is

inconceivable, but the very concept of an enemy or warfare has become

unthinkable to the postmodern bureaucratic mind. It is the very thought of

fighting a foe — fighting under any circumstances, however justified — that

has become the ultimate taboo. War has been banished, not from reality, but from

the list of allowable thoughts. It has become a Thoughtcrime and it is expunged

from the Newspeak of our times. Welcome to our Perfect World. While it lasts.
