Even the wholesale dependence of their economic system on unrestricted global migration does not bother certain people. Nor does that system’s recent collapse, which they seem not to have noticed. Must be nice.
Believe it or not, there are sites on which I am pejoratively described as “pro-Muslim” because I am opposed to a deranged war against Iran in order to replace one lot of Islamic fundamentalists with another lot of Islamic fundamentalists. (Well, who else are they, then?) Mind you, even that would make more sense than Iraq, where we have had a war to replace a secular bulwark against militant Islam with militant Islam itself. Never mind Afghanistan, where we are still having a war in order to replace one lot of them with the same lot of them. Being opposed to rule by the hired help of Saudi Arabia puts us on the right side and you, Bush-lovers (or Clinton-lovers), on the wrong side.
Both on economics and on geopolitics, and not least with a General Election coming up, a good New Year’s Resolution for the media might be to give some sort of coverage to those who were right rather than to those who were, and are, spectacularly and catastrophically wrong. But it won’t happen.
