Sentiments on self-serving delusions....

Dennis Perrin is, without doubt, one of the best bloggers out there.

Excellent writer: original, thought-provoking, gut-wrenchingly honest and always worth a read.

Would that America produced more with his grasp of history and powers of critical thinking.

The following gives a taste of his well placed moral outrage.

I will offer this: the notion that the US held "honorable intentions" as it tore the lid off of Iraq is not only self-serving piety, it's a widespread sociopathic delusion. Yet, US politicos from Chuck Hagel to Russ Feingold utter this line whenever possible, keeping a straight face while another thousand or so Iraqis are blown to bits, and a few dozen more US soldiers and Marines have their heads, arms or legs blown off by IEDs, or are felled by snipers. "Honorable"? Are you fucking kidding me? Criminal would be the first word out of my mouth, but then, I'm not trying to appease the fantasies of the political elite nor those among the greater mass who seriously buy into this insane logic.

The complete post also includes a video clip of Marx/Engels set to classic American cartoons.
