Spoils To the Victor (washingtonpost.com)Which brings to mind the punch line of that old Lone Ranger and Tonto joke ("Well, Tonto, it looks like we're surrounded by Indians"): "What do you mean, 'we,' Kemosabe?" What am I to Halliburton? What is Halliburton to me? Misdirected national emotion is turning into a theme of the Bush II years. We're filled with righteous anger at Osama bin Laden, so we go and pummel Saddam Hussein. We're filled with gratitude toward the soldiers who fought this war and with self-satisfaction as the citizens who will pay for it, so we give a teary hug and a big wet kiss on the mouth to a company practically all of us have nothing to do with. Oh this one is really good. Kinsley can be such a snideful prick sometimes. That's why we love him.
