“This tragedy will only be magnified if it is exploited for political gain. Politicians who wrap themselves in the flag while relentlessly pursuing their usual partisan agenda are not true patriots, and history will not forgive them.”
Paul Krugman September 14, 2001
Too bad we’re not at “history” for this yet. It just seems to get worse every day.
As Lucky said, we’re still making the “history” as noted in the quote.
Though Krugman was amazingly prescient.
