Shorter Andrew Sullivan

To save you the pain and suffering of going through Sully's long post on why he is afraid of the future, and why that means we should kill a lot of people who are not reasonable like him, I have broken it down to its more "direct points".

Ahem....Andy has learned that bad guys who aren't really governments with countries and capital cities and soccer teams and stuff, might get bad weapons and do us harm. Sullivan has apparently never seen a James Bond movie (like someone else we know), and so he finds this suprising and unreasonable. Since the world, which doesn't agree with George Bush (who may be our Churchill...no, really!) about attacking Iraq, what is the use in even discussing North Korea? Everyone except for Bush is soooo unreasonable. So someone has to blow up a Western city for us to realize that Bush and Blair are both Churchillian and ahead of their times. North Korea is probably worse, but lets invade Iraq anyway. Opposition is unreasonable and cynical. 9/11 and Iraq are somehow linked, but only at a level or frequency that only Andy can see and dogs can hear. Oh. And he is praying about our "leadership".

Hey. Who isn't?

Oh yeah. Andy also said that Rumsfeld is a loose cannon and Bush should tell him to "Mellow out, dude"...or at least snort some of the same pig tranquilizer that Bush mainlined prior to his press conference. But you know Rummy. When he's been tweaked on crystal for four days running he just, you know, says shit...
