The most eager adherent of a cause is not just a convert to it but a late heretic of its opposite. Joe Lieberman's unblinking Bush support might appear to be a self-parodying nyah-nyah against all his ex-buddies in the Senate. And yet…
Lieberman likes expressions of American power. A few years ago, I was in a movie theatre in Washington when I noticed Lieberman and his wife, Hadassah, a few seats down. The film was “Behind Enemy Lines,” in which Owen Wilson plays a U.S. pilot shot down in Bosnia. Whenever the American military scored an onscreen hit, Lieberman pumped his fist and said, “Yeah!” and “All right!”
Jeffrey Goldberg threw this anecdote into his New Yorker profile for comic effect but I wonder how would that unseemly fist-pumping jingoism read if, say, it was 1940 and Carey Grant were a downed American pilot awaiting rescue in Germany.
Say what you will about the redutio ad Hitlerum of the Jewish strain of American interventionism. For Lieberman, ending genocidal dictatorships doesn't have to be justified — only choosing not to end them does. All else is commentary.
