Liberals argue that, “we have to be better than the enemy”.

Those who wish to discourage evil should endeavor to treat others *slightly* better than those others treat them. Letting others know that both good and bad actions will be reciprocated will encourage those others to engage in good actions, so they can receive a favorable response and avoid an unfavorable one. Conversely, letting others know that no action by them will net a negative response will encourage them to engage in bad actions, since they will lose nothing by doing so.

Feinstein quite the hypocrite: has steered arms deals to her husband's business, violtated law to arm herself, was part of the bipartisan passage of the post-9/11 legislation--

--while Hussein the Twelfth Imam practices the Alinsky principle, destroy your enemy with his own morality--

The damage Carter's DCI Turner did to humint has never been repaired

Atta's crew was in Conus the year prior

Weldon's attempts to walk back the cat with Able Danger resulted in his ouster and their censure

From Gorelick's Wall we have Feinstein's mining and sapping--

Platoon: "Gooks in the wire--it's a lovely war."
