You really must check out Billmon's latest post on Shelby Steele's ode to the White Man from the WSJ. Seriously, this shit is just messed up:

Glenn Greenwald has been chewing over Shelby Steele's exceedingly bizarre op-ed in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, in which the conservative scholar declares that Uncle Sam is losing the war in Iraq not because of bad planning or a lack of troops or bad intelligence or a total failure to grasp the social realities of a deeply divided Middle Eastern country, but rather because of white guilt.

Yes, white guilt. America, it seems, has lost its warrior mojo because it is crippled -- haunted, tormented, curled up in agony in a fetal position on the floor -- by its historical legacy of racial oppression and injustice, or rather, by the left's determination to keep rubbing white Americans faces in that injustice...


You really have to read it to believe it, also check out Glenn Greenwald who takes on some of the wingnut chorus of "Amens!" to the piece and watch them flush the whole "humanitarian" argument for the Iraq war right down the crapper. Pay special attention to Goldstein's screed, which basically comes down to "Nuke all the brown people and let god sort 'em out." Wow...
