Right-Wing Madness
I can't think of any mainstream UK publication that is as loopy as the National Review. This thread on their 'Corner' features one staff writer who genuinely appears to believe the United States is at war with France, or was, as it is now going to surrender (search for DREAD or surrender). ANd it is not going to surrender because of the US's overwhelming military and economic power, but because a man on a website has drawn an artist's impression of a new weapon.What can explain this?
Is it stupidity, in that the author is merely mistaken as to whether France and the US were at war?
Is it madness, in that the author is mad?
Or is it something else?
