Gosh, aren’t they just flipping exhausted with their tireless, yet fruitless, campaign against Bush? You would think at this point they would just give. it. up.

MSM is going down in a blaze – not of glory – just a big fat ginormous bonfire.

[...] It must really suck to be an anti-war Bush-hater these days. Well, it’s probably always sucked, but especially now, considering the turn-arounds we’re seeing in opinion from Democrat members of Congress, other war critics (more here) and the American public (Jules Crittenden has more on that here).

Frankly I wonder how much of the antiwar thinking is from the perception that we’ve been following a losing strategy. I’ve always thought that we should have blown up everything of any possible military use and left. I am totally uninterested in the well being of Iraqis, or Iranians, Saudis or any of that crowd.
Elect me King and I’ll introduce the Peter Doctrine. Say one word against America, we blow up anything useful and cut off all aid. And we keep doing it until THEY are terrorized. I’m tierd of a culture that cannot even build their own airplanes thinking that I should be afraid of them.

Terrye, you grasp a reality that some others couldn’t find if it were on a billboard outside their livingroom window under klieg lights.

So only a third approve of the war? What kind of question is that. No one approves of war, that is not the point. Why not ask do you enjoy mayhem? It is a dumb question.

I do think that most people prefer winning to losing. It is just that some people have a different idea of what that means.

I for one can not imagine leaving Iraq in the hands of the kind of people who could damn near wipe out a village for no other reason than the sheer nasty fun of it.

Salty, if you can stand it, read “The Nation” mag sometime. They profess “World Peace” ahead of all other virtues, and then go on to glorify violent Lefty thugs everywhere they find them.

Why would someone drive themselves out of business and lessen their effectiveness.

I suspect that they evade any knowledge of the cause of falling subscriptions, just as they evade any knowledge that doesn’t fit their preconceived notions about everything else.

Beyond a vague, wistful desire for “world peace” . . .

I used to give people the benefit of the doubt about their desire for world peace, but I no longer do so. There is ample evidence that the philosophy of the left not only doesn’t lead to world peace, but is actually the cause behind the ineffable suffering and death of unfathomable numbers of people who have lived the philosophy. No honest person wants to continue actions that inexorably lead to that kind of suffering–not and claim that it will somehow lead to world peace. I’ve begun to think that the peace they speak of is the peace of the grave. Consider how people continue to denigrate the Industrial Revolution and capitalism, and praise socialism (in whatever form it takes). The first has produced more life-giving progress in the last 200 years than in all of human history. The latter has built Everests of corpses.

although I cannot for the life of me figure out what they think they would get out of an American defeat that would be worth having.

Beyond a vague, wistful desire for “world peace”, they don’t really know, and that’s what’s so scary in people who have a modicum of influence in the world.
