Uncommon Commentary #417: Nowadays, it’s Hip to Be a Hypocrite
I
wonder whether the Obombast administration, which denounces Israel over
civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, is aware that our own armed forces
killed millions of innocents during World War II. (It’s a coincidence that I’m making this
posting on the anniversary of the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima, which
obliterated an entire city full of noncombatants.) My purpose here is not to condemn WWII air-raids
or the men who carried them out, but to condemn self-righteous hypocrisy.
