and here we run into one of the most surreal aspects of the right patriotic marketing campaign--that conservatives cannot face even the slightest amount of data that might puncture their assumption that the united states is the most fabulous of all possible nation-states, that cowboy capitalism is the most humane possible system and so forth.

That's an interesting, if arrogant, assumption. Because... I am a conservative and you conveniently leave out mine, and many others who dont fit that. Now I could post stuff about how liberals close their eyes, clasp their hands over their ears whenever good news of international relations or positive outcomes in the war.... but I dont. Painting with a broad brush like that is a bitch aint it?
