Same old tired lies from the Hysteric Isolationists of the Hard Right. ONCE again, here is the the vital quote from 2003 State of the Union address that the Hard Right and the Hysteric Left continues to willingly lie about. Bush's rational for Liberating Iraq is as right on NOW as it was in January 2003

"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option. (Applause.)"

WHEN are the Hard Right Isolationist, and the Hysteric Left, going to wake up to the fact that their comfortable bigoted, rationalization about how the world works died on 9-11-2001?

Not until Los Angeles, New York or Washington are incinerated in an incandescent sun bursting from a suitcase. Or a hundred thousand Americans bleed their rotted organs out following a biological attack.

The difficult and unmistakable - and tragically hard - truth is that we must, as a nation, step forward and again seize the reins of history before death and horror on an unspeakable level are inflicted upon first America, and then the rest of humanity in the vacuum of power created by the death of our city on the hill.

Many pundits like to dismiss the Hard Right by comparing their views to the Hysteric Left in an ironically hysterical smear attempt. The only thing they agree on is that Bush is going about this the wrong way.

As I see it, the Neoconservative obsession with "democra-ceeeeeeeey!!!!!!!!!" runs somewhat counter to what a Conservative should stand for. I also think that Bush's political correctness ("a religion of peace"), coupled with the U.S.'s unwillingness to stand up to the devil that is the House of Saud and the gateway to hell that is Mecca, have caused us to underestimate what we're dealing with. The Wahabi strain of Islam--seeing the political Arab kingdoms as equal to the religious dominion of Allah--is nothing new; it goes right back to the Prophet. In their view, Islam cannot fail, and thus pieces of the Islamic Empire that were taken away--namely, Spain and Israel, are destined to fall.

The Hysteric Left is even MORE out there than Bush. At least Bush is flexing, even if he's flexing the wrong muscle. The Hysteric Left would have us open up our borders, pander to the Islamists, and "just try to get along" with people who hold 500-year-old grudges against our civilization.
