And just a few days ago he wrote a long article in which he
admitted his agnosticism but dwelt at length on how excellent has been the
influence of Christianity on US politics and how grateful we all ought to be
for that.
And here he again distorts reality in his attacks on
liberals just as enthusiastically as he did in that article.
Was it not GW and his team who insisted on democracy in the
Palestinian Authority with Islamist results they promptly regretted?
Was it not the Republican neocons who insisted they would support
him in bringing democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq at the point of a bayonet?
Indeed, to any country in the world run by people GW or his
White House cronies judged to be “evil doers,” as I recall.
Even as liberals in general opposed that idiotic
adventurism.
Not all, no.
Not by any means.
There is such a thing, after all, as a neocon liberal, like
Joe Lieberman or Hillary Clinton.
But most of those who were not office-holders at the time
opposed it.
Odd that Will, who in that same other article admits he does
not believe in natural rights, here lavishes praise on Lincoln for fighting the
Civil War to vindicate them.
