How the Greatest Generation Helped Pave the Road to Baghdad

On the eve of 9/11’s fifth anniversary, In These Times Senior Editor  
Christopher Hayes offers insightful new analysis on how the  
nationalist ideology that drove the "Greatest Generation” to victory  
has been transformed into a “maudlin sentimentality” that supports  
the Bush administration’s aggressive actions in the Middle East.

In “The Good War on Terror”, Hayes contends that, in our post 9/11  
world, war has become a sanitized fight of good vs. the ultimate  
evils of Nazism, totalitarianism, and its newest incarnation, Islamo- 
facsism. “It is always Munich 1938,” Hayes writes, “Every dictator is  
a ‘tyrant’, and anyone opposed to a state of perpetual war is guilty  
of ‘appeasement’.”
