the new left of the 1970s undermined the american war in vietnam. today they're the leaders in the american media, and they're doing the same thing: ted kennedy criticized the iraq war and the day after al jazzera broadcast al sadr's repetition of kennedy's remarks. the left will someday get what they worked for--a weakened america confronted by china and islam.
