Bush vs. Sartre

While recently trolling for thoughtful commentary on world affairs, The American Polis stumbled upon an interesting, albeit obviously unsubstantial, take on President Bush's paraphrased appropriation of Camus. The piece is written by a gentleman who writes under the name Sartre, who must surely have an inferiority complex, since another far more famous existentialist already owns the rights to that name (wait, TAP now gets the gag. Oh, Sartre. You wit.) TAP appreciates an effort to engage an existential critique of Bush policies, but TAP also wonders where we go from there. In the absence of solutions, to point out problems, while legitimate, seems a parlor game. Although The American Polis does love Glenlivet (splash of water, si'l vous plait) and a rousing game of whist.
