War pathology

By Mustang Bobby

William Kristol, writing from his new digs at the Washington Post, complains that President Obama didn't talk about the wars he so energetically neo-conned for the last administration.

This was not the speech of a man who even contemplates the possibility of using force within the next year to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. This was not the speech of a man who thinks America needs to be reminded about the dangers out there in the world, because Americans might have to be summoned to deal with them. This was not the speech of a man who thinks of himself as a war president.

But he is.

Somebody needs to explain to Mr. Kristol that not everyone is as obsessed with his passion for war and destruction. Perhaps that somebody should be his therapist, because anyone with that big a hard-on for death and destruction is in desperate need of one.
