Kunstler on the Middle East

James Kunstler--who I piled on last week--this week writes what needs to be said about everyone who is less than enthusiastic about current-day America but also concerned about the carnage in the Middle East:

I hasten to add that I am myself an opponent of American culture and polity in many of their current manifestations -- everything from Nascar to US Department of Agriculture subsidies, and plenty in between -- and yet I do not regard any victory of Islamic Jihad, whether in Iraq or Jordon or the subway tunnels of London or the skyscrapers of Manhattan, to be necessarily a good thing for the world.
