(438) DANGERS OF HERO WORSHIP

Thanks to the Benevolent External Servant who, along with the help of the United States and NATO, engineered the death of Muammar Gadhafi. Now ladies, everybody line up. The tyrant who is fixing to impose Sharia law in Libya wants to mutilate your genitalia.

Speaking of bizarre events, the big deal was that Muammar Gadhafi had engineered the destruction of, or his agents had blown up, an airplane years ago (1992, I think), killing everyone on board. The bottom line is now, and always has been, who is the target du jour? Does anyone remember when Reagan, the Great Conservative, the Great Communicator, the Great Warhog, the Great Freedom-fighter was President of the United States? North Korea shot down a commercial airliner. Reagan's reaction? "They will be condemned in the court of public opinion." Despite Ronnie's inability to pour piss out of a boot, there are legions of people who fall to their knees at the mention of his name. But public opinion is hardly tit for tat.
