Bad influence
Santa Fe New MexicanNovember 3, 2016Richard Block
I find it sanctimonious and devoid of self-awareness that the media and people of our country are in such an outrage at the possibility that Russia is trying to influence our election. What’s that about people who live in glass houses? We — the United States — don’t just meddle. We overthrow governments (sometimes democratically elected ones) all over the world and replace them with ruthless dictators. We interfere in elections of other countries with regularity and impunity. So let us not react with astonishment if another country indulges in a bit of what we do with abandon. What’s that saying? “Physician, heal thyself.” Amen.
