Today, the Chronicle editorial board concluded a poorly written but mostly reasonable editorial on the London terror attacks with the following non-sequitur:
In light of what Britain and Blair continue to risk and endure in support of the president’s international policies, Americans are in their debt. The administration should be more generous in its support of Blair’s agenda to better the world through fighting poverty in Africa and avoiding climatic disaster.
That certainly came out of left field.
We join the editorial idealists in condemning climatic disaster!
As for fighting poverty in Africa — we’d only remind the editorial idealists of the Bush Administration’s historic degree of engagement with Africa, since the idealists clearly haven’t been following the news that closely.
