Look at the threads and comments over on DU and you will see how right you are. These people are emotionally immature--i.e., they don't WANT 9-11 to have changed the world, so they will pretend it didn't, and cover their ears and keep saying "NO, IT WAS AN ABERRATION BUSH IS USING TO CONTROL US!!!!"
Our culture is one where 45 year old men still read comic books regularly and want their kids to be their friends, and then read Dr. Phil books to answer their questions. The DU crowd are the embodiment of this--the politics of wishful thinking.
How the hell are the terrorists competing for the "hearts and minds" of the Iraqi people, as Ted Kennedy said, by giving out pamplets telling them they will be killed if they vote?
