Fleisher's interview with Mathews made me think of trips to a college friend's bungalow, what seems like a thousand years ago to argue endlessly about whether Stravinsky was his own best conductor or if Shoenberg was too often sidelined in place of musical warhorses. It all seems inconsequentially trivial, now. Fleisher's arguments have become as nasty as my friend's unapologetically heaped ashtrays -- stale, smelly, the butts mired in their own disgusting tar like the premises of neocon logic; the threats of an atomic smoking gun probably emanating from some smoldering filter. Fleisher's unbridled arrogance will probably blind him forever to the fact that our blunder in Iraq, while not only causing unfathomable misery, was actually counter-strategic. It's as though he, Bush, Cheney, and the other neo-con mad dogs sat down and set out to find the stupidest, most ill-conceived, asinine response to 9-11 they could muster then base an entire foreign policy on it, while at the same time decimating our economy. I don't think Bin Laden, in his most maniacal dreams, could have conjured up a scenario as devastating to western civilization as the one propitiated by Bush and company. Little wonder, then, that they are left to spin a web of deceit like the Mathews interview. The truth would be too much to bear. Here here!
