The problem isn't government; the problem is THIS government
Yet another Commonwealth citizen scores:
To the Editor:
"The Best Laid Plan: Too Bad It Flopped," by David Brooks (column, Sept. 11), reveals the true pessimism of the conservative viewpoint in America.
The neocons, after four years of touting themselves as the champions of the American "can do" spirit in their efforts to transform the Middle East, faced with the miserable failure of the government response to Katrina, shrug their shoulders and tell us that we expect too much from our government.
The problem isn't government; the problem is this government and its apparent lack of interest in living up to its own "can do" rhetoric.
