All former neocon groupies have their own coping mechanisms. Fukyama's is perhaps the ugliest. After admitting the Iraq occupation is a disaster, this clown is now pivoting to bash Europeans. That's right. He doesn't want to talk about Bush or Rumsfeld or Cheney.
He wants to talk about how SNIDE those Europeans are.
Good Lord, what a cold little turd this guy is. He was a driving force behind this war - and now his number one concern is potential smugness in Europe. Yeah, that's the biggest problem facing America, Fuku - we euros may be feeling smug. Never mind the trillion dollars and tens of thousands of wasted lives. It's the INTOLERABLE SMUGNESS OF EUROPEANS that keeps Mr. Fukuyama awake in the night.
I have stopped reading Friedman's column after the fifth time in a month he referred to "babysitting Iraqis". This mental midget of NYT has apparently decided that heaping scorn on the victims of the occupation will sooth his conscience. Whatever.
But I did not realized that Fukuyama is actually an even iller puppy than Friedman. Check this out:
Fukuyama Bleats
Fukyama is quite besides himself - what if those twisted Europeans are feeling smug about the bloody mess that he helped create?? Wouldn't that be just intolerable? Fukuyama needs to educate Europeans - an Iraqi civil war would be BAD for Europe. So no snickering.
Well, here's a news flash for Mr. F. We Euros KNOW that an Iraq implosion will imperil European security. That is why vast majority of us opposed this feckless adventure. My European friends do not snicker and smirk at Bush and Fukuyama. We curse the days you were born.
See the difference? No smugness - just plain old rage.
