Daily Masochism: Kos's New American Center

According to Kos, his fans are the "new center of American politics". If the new American center believes, like Kos, that the murder of Americans by Islamist fanatics in Fallujah, and the desecration of their bodies is worthy of saying "I feel nothing....screw them", then maybe it's time for me to move.

My guess, though, is that Kos is wrong. That the vast majority of Americans don't support his radical anti-Americanism*. That their lack of support for the war in Iraq comes from a different place. Americans like to win. The day America stopped supporting the war was the day they became convinced that we were losing. It's really that simple. *I don't necessarily think that not supporting the initial invasion is anti-American. What I do think is anti-American is not wanting us to win. And I also think it is anti-American to think of Iraq as "Bush's war". Administrations do not go to war, nations do. Unless you are not part of this nation, then it is your war.
