Solzhenitsyn as gadfly on morality and policy debate
In an April Commentary essay Norman Podhoretz argues Vietnam was the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time yet not wrong in purpose. He questions the idea of making the world safe for democracy and contends the United States can be seen as defender of freedom. Moynihan’s stance at the UN is cited, and Solzhenitsyn’s moral framing is weighed as either a clear moral issue or dangerous self justification. The piece reflects on American self perception amid Bicentennial introspection and muddling through.
