Man on the Moon [ by Michael T] [Culture Clash]
October 10, 2007Reuters has an interesting article today on the “Man on the Moon” syndrome and its relevance to our Iraq boondoggle. The syndrome refers to the belief around the world that since America put a man on the moon, it can do anything. Except of course that we can’t. That leads to a disconnect between what people like the Iraqis feel we can do and what we can actually do. The results, as we’ve seen, can be catastrophic.
