Insomnia all over again...
I'm up late reading Richard Morgan's new book, Woken Furies and I'm having a hard time putting it down. Last time this happened it was Neal Stephenson and I must have read 3000 pages in a blink.

A Modest Proposal for the Amerikan Left
Dear Amerikan Left,
The Pershing Missile you so authoritatively hysterically insisted mistakenly opposed would start another arms race helped end the Cold War with The Mighty Soviet Union and in spite of the inept thanks to the towering leadership of Reagan and Bush the world somehow managed to survive the oligarchic warmongers gave birth to The Russian Commonwealth. You succeeded in ending enlarging the genocide in South East Asia by levitating the Pentagon until we stopped oppressing the free and democratic people of Vietnam and Cambodia abandoning an oppressed people and leaving them in the clutches of villains such as Pol Pot who tortured and murdered millions of his own people. You looked the other way screamed bloody murder when the former President kept refused to acknowledge the negotiating authority of Yassar Arafat for years cooling his heels while he was making a DNA donation and forced the Palestinian Authority to take the negotiating process seriously. You predicted that Afghanistan would fail to have legitimate elections scoffed at the long-term prospects of Afghanistan's legitimate elections keep trying to find ways to undermine the success of the War on Terrorism. You encourage Universities to disinvest in businesses associated with the State of Israel. You demand diversity Blacklist non-Amerikan Left professors who attempt to provide intellectual balance on University campuses. You welcome with open arms oppress students with views in opposition to your own.
You get it wrong a lot of the time. Just like the rest of us. Only you never say you're sorry.
Please, Amerikan Left, in the spirit of fair play and decency, take another look at yourself in the mirror and admit to a few errors just piss off. It'll do so much to make things right again.
Thanks.
Most of us.
