Some of the left is starting to see their impossible position. I disagree with Friedman about those that favorted the war not understanding the subltety of the terrorism problem. I would counter that those on the left don't understand the simplicity of the problem -- a world-wide fascist movement has been using a religion that already preaches intolerance to accomplish their political goals. Don't they remember genocide? Don't they remember torture, terrorism? One doesn't wait until the Huns are at the door, one hunts them. I respectfully would thank Thomas Friedman of the NY Times for his honesty about the left and the importance of Iraq. I would also respectfully remind Mr. Friedman that until the left understands some of the simplicity of opposing terrrorism, they are not ready to "... take it from here."

Good post.

Bingo. They claim their ideology has too much "nuance" or "subtlety" for a dumb right winger to understand, which is a tacit admission that their ideas and beliefs cannot be substantiated by a-priori logic. Their stance on issues must be cloaked in semantic gymnastics, gobbledygook reasoning, and outright lies.
