Loyalty is a noble quality, but when it comes to national security and foreign policy, as this books suggests, loyalty to persons must be secondary to loyalty to country.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens when one has had a lone-held belief in a person (or ideology), but newly discovered information contradicts that belief, especially a belief wrapped in loyalty, an emotion laden sentiment?
Cognitive dissonance.
A person has various options: Ignore the new evidence, follow the evidence to where it leads and revise the belief, or muddle along attempting to straddle the implications of that evidence.
The Bushes, given the evidence don't deserve loyalty.
They deserve to be exposed for whatever that evidence demonstrates their true character and qualities are.
But you know what?
That takes courage.
