J. Goldberg on the difference between Us and Them
2002-03-06
  • And yet, James Zogby, the head of the Arab-American Institute insists America has to work harder to persuade we have a lot in common with Arab countries. President Bush, he says, has a lot of work to do in explaining that we share their values. Hey Jim, we don't want to share too many values with these countries.

    Enough moral equivalence already. According to the news reports, al Qaeda captured one of our soldiers in the latest fighting and promptly executed him. We're being called barbaric while letting our well-fed and well-tended prisoners wear turbans and chat with government provided clerics. We are the good guys and no matter how many envious or chest-thumping foreigners tell pollsters otherwise, that fact won't change.
    Zogby's comments are typical propaganda from a hyphenated American who hasn't yet figured out what the implications of being an American citizen are. Zogby's polls are well design exercises in trying to elucidate focus groups within America, which have served in the past to help various scurvy politicos to triangulate their way to victory in elections or neuter the legislative or judicial system. Zogby is a prime example of how smart guys can be simply dead wrong in their conclusions.
