You should ask that learned ‘fellow worker’, as to how many churches, temples and mosques are located side by side in say, Mecca, Medina or all of Saudi Arabia, for that matter.

I had Michael Yon’s picture of the St. John’s Church in Baghdad with those guys putting the cross back up on my computer as wallpaper. One of my fellow workers came over to my cube, took one look at it, and proceeded to give me a history lesson how, once a upon a time, churches and mosques sat right next to each other in Catholic Spain. I was too befuddled at the time to respond, but now I know why he gave such an obtuse reponse to a beautiful picture.
He’s a liberal (I know this for a fact) who is having great difficulty seeing any evidence of a better life for Iraq. So he changed the subject to a time when Spaniards were dihmmis and the Moors could build their mosques anywhere they wanted to. But he presented it as evidence that Christians and Muslims always could get along. Apples and oranges.

Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong?

Ummm, yes. Unfortunately their hatred is that great.

They are beyond shame RebeccaH. Heck they should be ashamed to call themselves “liberal” for all the nasty crap they have advocated and big fibs they have told in their naked quest for political power. If they would have been on “our” side for the last 4 years, the war would have been won years ago, because there’s alot of talent going to waste over there on a failed redistributionist ideology.

It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.

It’s hard to understand how anyone on the left can read these words and not feel shame.

I am happy to read the good news, especially when it includes Baghdad. I’d say more, but Iraqipundit said it beautifully. I’d just be gilding the lily.
