But the leftists WANT to kill American soldiers.
Check out the thread below, which discusses an entry on the blog "Powerline".

Here is an excerpt (bolding MINE)
I entertained at a 50th anniversary party for a well-known feminist leader about 10 days after 9/11. Much of the liberal elite of the Twin Cities was present. I was wearing a little flag pin that elicited considerable mockery. In a post-performance conversation with 3 prominent DFL activists, they all agreed that 1) America had it coming 2) much of the rest of the world cheered the attacks and that was not a bad thing; 3) the attack was purely a "criminal" matter that required the issuing of indictments, but surely not a war, and finally and most horrifically, a direct quote, "At least we got rid of Barbara Olson."
These folks were identifying with the 9-11 terrorists because the attacks killed Barbara Olson.
Talk about intolerance?
