Fredwitz on War

He Doan No Nuffin'

September 26, 2004

A columnist has a peculiar perspective on things. He sits high above the intellectual plain and has mud flung at him from all sides. He probably deserves it, but that is not my point here. He sees a world in which everyone has the correct answer except himself. He also sees that everyone’s correct answer is different from everyone else’s. Oh well.

There follows an explanation of our invasion of Iraq as understood by my email.

(1) We invaded because Saddam Hussein was a royal sonofabitch.

The characterization is hard to dispute. I note that no one cared what he was until 9-11. In any event he is no longer there, so why are we?

(2) We wanted the oil. There isn’t enough for both us and a developed China. Grab while the grabbin´s good.

Plausible. But why not, say, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, with smaller populations and far less capacity for being difficult?

4. He prefers independent....

...but he leans far more Republican in the traditional sense. Also, he is a hero to the blue-collar Republican set.
