Dilbert’s mea culpa
Dilbert creator Scott Adams has been taking a lot of heat on the web and in his own comments for his “satire” the other day in which he appeared to show sympathy for Amahdinejad. Today he issued a mea culpa:
In reading the comments to my post yesterday, I see that many of you were confused about my positions. Evidently all of you are brilliant, so I assume the problem is on my end.
He clarified a few things, most importantly on Israel and the Jews:
If Israel had an enemy that it could make peace with, then I might feel different. But it doesn’t, so Israel’s best interests dictate keeping the neighbors too economically weak to purchase expensive weapons, and to control as much territory as possible. I don’t begrudge any country that makes rational decisions in support of its own safety. I don’t even begrudge Israel’s influence on American foreign policy. I respect them for how well they do it.
Here’s the video version:
