It used to be a tactic of the PC Left to say: If you disagree with us, you're a racist/sexist/fascist/homophobe.
But since 9/11, many "conservatives" have mutated into a sort of PC Right, with their own statements of blanket accusations and ugly smear tactics.
I'm a patriotic true conservative/libertarian American who (regretfully) voted for Bush in 2000. Yet I too think the war in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11.
Hmmmm????
Saddam Hussein definitely wants the United States of America to disappear (along with Israel) in any way, shape or manner possible.
He's been supporting people who share his point of view monetarily for many years.
I believe it boils down to the concept that the enemy of my enemy is my friend...
