HARRY’S PLACE has a post on moral equivalence, now and then, comparing “pacifist” comments that a German victory in World War II would represent “justice” with similar tolerance for Islamic terror today.
Meanwhile, Mickey Kaus notes that moral equivalence extends even to Martians:
Did War of the Worlds screenwriter David Koepp really say that the Martians in the movie represent “American military forces,” while Tom Cruise and the embattled Earthlings represent Iraqi civilians? Looks like he did.
Jeez, you just can’t make this stuff up.
