Unfisking

Jules Crittenden takes on Robert Fisk’s assertions that there are, in reality, no true responsible actors for the mayhem in the Middle East–there are only common interests:

So there is no responsibility in the Middle East, only commonality of interest.  A fascinating and revolutionary concept, worthy of study. Hey, wait a minute.  This suggests a sea change in Fisk’s thinking. It means the Americans are not responsible for violence in Iraq and throughout the region.  It is only an expression of their commonality of interest with the Iraqi people.  Israel, no responsibility … just commonality of interest with the civilized people of the world.
