A touch Mel-odramatic

I am reluctant to direct anyone to Melanie Philips' blog at The Spectator. Her long posts are full of hysteria and irrationality on many topics, especially Barack Obama. Most telling is the post entitled 'Is America really going to do this?' Have a read and see what you think but my main reaction is that she is placing onto Obama what she thinks he thinks about America and the security challenges the West faces (because, in her mind, that is what a black liberal of his generation would think) not what he actually does think.

I suspect expressing this view will put me into Melanie's 'ememy of civilisation' category. But that's life, I suppose...
