Take Me To Your Leader--Tonight!*

Perhaps MoDo was right about the coming theocracy. More likely, silent radio transmissions from planet Tobor are controlling the Times columnist, Andrew Sullivan and Stephen Spielberg:

When the aliens finally arrive, Steven Spielberg expects them to be galactic good Samaritans like E.T. rather than the malevolent marauders of "War of the Worlds." . . .

Given the level of technology required for interstellar travel and the long star trek required to reach Earth, Spielberg figures aliens inevitably would come in peace.

"I can't believe anybody would travel such vast distances bent on destruction. I believe anybody who would travel such vast distances are curious explorers, not conquerors," Spielberg said. "Carrying weapons a hundred-thousand light-years is quite a schlepp. I believe it's easier to travel 100,000 light-years with their versions of the Bible."

Obviously unfulfilled as one of the 100 greatest Americans, Spielberg apparently yearns to be Defense Secretary in a Hillary Administration. At least he couldn't be worse than Harold Brown. Andrew Sullivan remains inexplicable.
