Readers of AFOE may know that I am a fan of the now defunct American TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Which is why I couldn’t possibly resist linking to this:
In other words, Season 7 of Buffy always struck me as a fairly explicit critique of Bush’s foreign policy (even if dullards on the right missed it), and a foreshadowing of a superior Kerryist alternative. Even Willow’s tentative embrace of her own power and overcoming of her own fears about how she might use her power for evil echoes the European (and especially German) struggle with the past; as in Season Four (Adam) and Season Five (Glory), Buffy can only defeat evil when working closely with a self-confident and allied Willow.
