I know its has bad connotations because of how the concept was abused in Vietnam, but how about a body count? The sheer number of hadjis bighting the dust must be immense at this point. Maybe a little reminder of how many have gone to hell would let people know we are making some progress.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill
As well they should. They know who won and who lost.
Bears repeating.

Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006
Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews
A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia. The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us, Leftists radicals truly believe the ends justify the means.

Only in your wet dreams boys!
Has any Democrat responded to this? Or to the Ayatollah's analysis of the elections as a "victory for Iran"? If it were me, I would be outraged that our enemies were asserting common cause with my party.
I will give them the benefit of the doubt, and say that perhaps the Democrats are too shocked to know what to say, and figure its best to just let it blow over.
See post #28.
"I will give them the benefit of the doubt."
Based on their unashamed, openly traitorous behavior over the past several years, I have no idea why you would do that.
