Quotable: Michael Zuckerman on neo-cons

January 5, 2009 — Sabina Becker

“In French slang, the word con means jackass or imbecilic wuss. So when the néo-cons–the néo-cons as the French read the term–went ahead with the ill-considered invasion and imperialist occupation of Iraq, the French thought that this was just the sort of thing that néo-cons–incompetent fools, milksop morons–would do.”

–Michael Zuckerman, “American Conservatism in Historical Perspective”

Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next.
--Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996
