A Brit, who disagrees with US policy, says that despite that, it's dumb to call Americans dumb.

. . . By the same token, there have been few more devastating critics of US foreign policy than Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal and Ramsey Clark, American citizens all.

It is important for all of us who share that distinguished triumvirate?s world view to continue to break bread with individual Americans. . .

Thought it was quite interesting until I stumbled over this little bit...

Yeah, he had to throw it all away with that outbreak of Slobophilia in the last section too. Funny how the Left (with a big L) always manage to blow it. Even when they try their best to be rational, the effort is just too much. They can't seem to go more than two or three paragraphs without showing support for some dictator or crank. Oh well...

If there were more (the opposite of less) "more (in terms of degree) devastating critics of U.S. foreign policy" than Chomsky, Vidal and Clark, that view might stand a chance of getting people's attention.

Clark, especially, is firmly established in the minds of most Americans as a kook, and Vidal as a crank. Chomsky is a garden gnome.

I repeat, Chomsky is a garden gnome.

Rand, isn't there some way to enable HTML tags here?

Yeah, there is. I've turned them off for security reasons, but maybe I'm being overly paranoid.

I'll turn them back on.

The author's a tutor at Oxford Tutorial College... What this means is that he couldn't get a job after leaving university (probably Oxford) and is making a modest living by tutoring the spoilt kids of rich folk whose A level results weren't good enough to get them into daddy's college.

As a result his real world experience probably amounts to 0.00.
