If these are your *only* points of reference, you'll gravitate towards his course.<BR/><BR/>The reason I only loosely followed his writings is because I've noted that MDs almost never really understand political realities, but think that their status as gods in white renders their pontifications infallible.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion he's not nuts, just arrogant and opinionated like the vast majority of MDs are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1158591682741884932006-09-18T11:01:00.000-04:002006-09-18T11:01:00.000-04:00I suspect for someone who works with Dr. K. that h...I suspect for someone who works with Dr. K. that he's losing his grip would kind of be like a young musician telling Tony Bennett he's hitting a lot of flat notes these days. <BR/><BR/>"Bomb Iran or do nothing" is is a distinct form of illogical insanity. Does Krauthammer really believe the choices are that limited or does he simply want to convince other that they are. <BR/><BR/>Either way, it's pretty nutty.Jeff Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146644937683409726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1158591206158793012006-09-18T10:53:00.000-04:002006-09-18T10:53:00.000-04:00"Insane" may be a bit strong in describing Krautha..."Insane" may be a bit strong in describing Krauthammer. Sooner or later everyone grows so old that they can no longer rethink their assumptions. I suspect Krauthammer has reached that point. I just can't see him, back in the late 70s, when he worked for Carter, saying that he stood for torture. Nor can I see him advocating torture during his time at Oxford.<BR/><BR/>What I don't understand is why others who work with him don't realize that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1158585240544093832006-09-18T09:14:00.000-04:002006-09-18T09:14:00.000-04:00Hi, Ingrid.
