avvaРоберт Фиск - ультралевый журналист, один из самых яростных критиков войны в Афганистане.
Позавчера его жестоко избили афганские беженцы в Пакистане. Он написал об этом статью.
Если кто-то ещё не понимает всей глубины идиотизма ультра-левых либералов, пусть прочтёт эту статью. В ней просматривается всё, как на ладони.
Then someone punched me in the back. Then young men broke my glasses, began smashing stones into my face and head. I couldn't see for the blood pouring down my forehead and swamping my eyes. And even then, I understood. I couldn't blame them for what they were doing. In fact, if I were the Afghan refugees of Kila Abdullah, close to the Afghan-Pakistan border, I would have done just the same to Robert Fisk.
У меня просто нет слов.
And – I realised – there were all the Afghan men and boys who had attacked me who should never have done so but whose brutality was entirely the product of others, of us...
О, как это было бы смешно, когда бы не было так грустно.
P.S. Эндрю Салливан пишет об этой статье: For those who believe that the left-wing intelligentsia is capable of critical thought or even a modification of their ideology in the face of evidence, this incident is a wonderful example of why it won’t happen. They won’t recognize reality, or abandon their racism, or moderate their spectacular condescension to the inhabitants of the developing world – even when reality, literally, crushingly, punches them in the face.
