Some things are easy. Some things are difficult.
Some difficult things are difficult because that’s a fundamental part of their nature. There’s no easy way to win the Tour de France. If it ever became easy, that would be the end of the Tour. Wars can be like that, too.
Some things become difficult — or even impossible — because of incompetence, ignorance and stupidity.
If you’re in the Bush Administration, when things go badly for the United States — in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in North Korea, at the United Nations — you may feel justified in saying, “Hey, war and diplomacy and stuff are hard!” You would be right. And yet…
Zbigniew Brzesinski last night on The Daily Show:
The real problem is that we have had a policy lately that has been dividing our friends and uniting our enemies and should be the other way around.
Well, Bush said he was a uniter. He never specified who he would unite.
