The myth of 'the good war' persists and it's not going away any time soon.

The myth of"the good war" persists and it's not going away any time soon.Love thy enemy? I get a chance to do so on a regular basis, thanks to the email I sometimes get in response to my column, e.g.:

I have an advantage here. When I get a communique like this, I know the writer read my column in a regular newspaper, not a progressive site on the Internet — and that’s a good thing for multiple reasons. One: The mainstream media is often fearful of a viewpoint like mine, which is critical of war and nukes and nationalism and border cages and such, so I always feel delight on learning I’ve made it into mainstream print.

“As for the Jihadists I’m sure they would love to hear from an infidel, especially an American. Why don’t you drop in and say hi to ISIS, I’m sure they would make you feel right at home.”

Oh wait, wrong Emmerich 😅 “Sometimes a big blockbuster is the right thing to wake up people... whenever it's an end-of-the-world scenario, it's decisions about life and death, and I think that heightens everything...” - rolandemmerich
