Bomb-Dropping Social Workers

The Instaredundant Glenn Reynolds, Virginia Postrel, and co. have been promoting the heck out of the “Chief Wiggles” toy drive for Iraqi kids. I have no beef with this effort whatsoever (donate here!), but its cheerleaders are the worst types of do-gooders. Hawks all, they demanded the very acts that put many of these children in orphanages and hospitals, and now they tingle with sanctimony for passing out stuffed animals. And they call this Waco/McMartin logic “libertarian”!
