ARE CONSERVATIVES REALLY HOPING FOR ANOTHER 9/11?
The comments section here is almost as interesting as the article.
Look conservatives, hate to break it to you, but another 9/11 in America is not going to make liberals more reflexively pro-right on the War on Terror. Instead, we lefties will feel that the attack validates our view that the Iraq war has NOT, repeat NOT, made us safer from terrorism, but actually more vulnerable.
Most of us liberals went along with Afghanistan because that's where Osama was, and we asked the Taliban to give him to us but they said no. Fine.
Then, just as we placed our trust in Bush and figured he was serious about that "dead or alive" talk, he lets Osama go and starts a whole NEW war elsewhere, where we knew Osama wasn't.
So we pissed off the Muslims even more, and the Iraq war served as a convenient rallying cry for Al Qaeda to recruit even more jihadis to the still-free Osama's banner.
And it hasn't escaped our liberal attentions either that several of those failed terrorism plotters in the UK were Iraqi. Gee, you think that the invasion of their country might, in some way, have been, I dunno, a motivating factor for them?! Nah.
You people must think us total idiots if you honestly believe we want to sing Kumbaya with the terrorists, or if you think our tiny lizard brains can't grasp the fact that some of those people really, truly want to kill as many of us as possible, whether we're on the left or the right. We get it, OK?
But this is why we are angry: BUSH'S POLICIES ARE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO WINNING THE WAR ON TERROR.
I want all you fundies to post that on your refridgerator and read it every time you go to get a Bud Light. COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
We should have stayed on Osama's ass until we caught or killed him. We should have sent special forces after his henchmen and killed them WITHOUT invading a WHOLE OTHER COUNTRY that had NOTHING to do with 9/11 instead! That would have been in this nation's best interests, and believe me, we lefties would have supported it.
You guys just don't get it.

ACTING BARBAROUSLY TO DEFEAT THE BARBARIANS
"We did some pretty horrific things in World War II to defeat Japan and Germany and managed to maintain our democracy while retaining a certain moral authority in the world left over from the Wilsonian era."
Well yes. But how many atomic bombs have we dropped since then?
