Here is The Good Doctor (TGD) manufacturing more backhanded apologetics for the War on Terror, masquerading as ‘Democracy Promotion’ in ‘The Arab World’. The linchpin of this ‘Bush Doctrine’ is the barrel of a gun and whatever weapon of war need be pressed into service, no matter how heinous. TGD is unapologetic about the costs of the ‘Bush Doctrine’ in a currency that he finds baffling, even incomprehensible: human life. That human life is the life of the great other, who does not register as of value or worth, in the world view of our honored physician. Only certain forms of sentient life qualify as of primary importance. Callous, inhuman might be a response to his deeply held views, or could we name it American Exceptionalism? The question of Assad and Gaddafi as murderers of their own peoples begs the question of the murders of America and our agents in the countries of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Democratization, the ‘Bush Doctrine’, in American terms has been bought by the barrel of a gun and a seemingly endless stream of borrowed money, wholesale bribery renamed, in a propaganda coup, the ‘Surge’. Our moral bankruptcy is assuredly upon us, it is our fiduciary collapse and utter decline that awaits , stage right. But more importantly TGD continues to argue from his deeply held notion of Jewish Exceptionalism, that Israel has a right to lands it has stolen: a matter already ruled upon by The International Court of Justice and not in Israel’s favor. But this is a matter of little consequence, to the argumentative brio of our thinker, who allows his rhetoric supremacy over the empirical.
