Editor Todd Seifert writes that he's considering adding Charles Krauthammer (aka Dr. Strangelove) to the editorial page of The Spectrum. Shock & awe - mostly shock.
I've been futilely chiding the hometown paper to inform us on the sanctions, depleted uranium, Blackwater security operations, and the new oil law written by our state department for the Iraq government. If Krauthammer ever mentions those, chances are he'll be in favor of them.
Many readers are still reeling over Senator Orrin Hatch's visit to The Spectrum. The senator claims we went to war to protect Israel. NOW, he tells us, six years after he voted to let our president attack for other reasons. Did the editors scold Hatch? Can a shrimp whistle?
The column by Spectrum's world-affairs-expert-for-20-years writer glorifies war enough without bringing in the ultimate jingoist. The editor plans to balance out this unbalanced writer with another columnist - probably Maureen Dowd.
Not enough. Pray for peace.
It's all so simple.
