George Orwell, call your office.
George Orwell, call your office.
A letter appeared in Friday's Washington Times with a positively Orwellian statement in it. The letter was from a group called "September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows". They are opposed to the administration's policies on the war on terror.
In the letter they authors state that "We're against current policies, not because they're implemented by President Bush, but because we believe they increase global instability and increase the likelihood of terrorism in the future."
Huh? So...they're opposed to Bush's policies but not because they're implemented by him? They say that they're against "current policies." George W Bush makes foreign policy for the U.S. He is also responsible for implementing them. If they think that those policies are wrong then they're against Bush's policies. To say that you are against the policy but not because they're implemented by the author of the policy is a distinction without a difference.
