August 22, 2008 Obama's Moral Equivalence ProblemI guess we really shouldn't be surprised that Barack Obama sees no difference between our toppling of Saddam Hussein and Russia's invasion of Georgia. On an emotional level - which is where most liberals live and breathe - the comparison is attractive. But on an intellectual level, it is stupid and deceitful. Powerline destroys Obama's rationale in three sentences:
This was lefty dogma during the cold war - there is no difference between the US and the Soviets. For Obama to resurrect that notion is not surprising and indeed, predictable. Is it a question of pacifism that Obama equates the two countries? Obama says he is not a pacifist but to believe there is a moral equivalency between America and Russia or Iraq and Georgia has a problem with their moral compass. |
