Barking mad
Hey, George, we'd like to build a school in your neighborhood. Naturally, this means we're going to have to murder your family. Don't flinch, George. It's obvious you are a real man who understands things. Think of the schools, George. Just think of them!
Peter, looks like your neighborhood school is getting a bit scuffed up. We've got the AK-47s and some paint, just let us know when you'll be in.

Lessons for Liberals by George Will
--
Among the heroes of liberalism's civil war of 60 years ago was Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who today is 88. He stigmatized their anti-anti-communism as ``doughface-ism.'' [Peter] Beinart explains: ``The original doughfaces were 'Northern men with Southern principles' -- Northerners who opposed slavery, but who could not bring themselves to support the Civil War.'' Today's doughfaces are ``progressives'' who flinch from the fact that, as Beinart says, ``America could not have built schools for Afghan girls had it not bombed the Taliban first.''
