False analogy. Japan attacked us on December 7 and we went to war with Japan and then Germany which declared war on us. As even George Bush admits, Saddam did not attack us on September 11 and not a single one of the highjackers were Iraqis. Just like the American Firsters, Ron Paul supported fighting the force that launched the attacked, in this case Al Qaeda, rather than chasing windmills attempting to bring "democracy" to the iraqi hell-hole. John T. Flynn, no doubt, would back Paul if were alive today.
Are you familiar with the late Abbu Abbas and the late Abu Nidal??? Who was harboring them on 9/11 or therebouts? Even if the Nation and the Daily Worker and Chronicles did not notice????
Flynn was the editor of the New Haven Register when I was growing up. Trust me that the New Haven Register itself was never again a paleoquisling publication after 12/7/41. And they weren't sitting around in a circle playing mumblety peg or speculating on which enemy of America could be tolerated. If Flynn would ever have supported the likes of paleoPaulie after 12/7/41, it would be evidence of rank senility.
When paleos meet, do they beat their gums whining about how that awful Dubya treated that nice Mr. Sodamn Insane and his two pups Uday and Qucay?
Personally, I don't care if democracy ever comes to Iraq so long as it is dominated by the US and our enemies (that is the enemies of the United States for those in Rio Linda or other parts of paleoland) there are suppressed and killed.
Like the leftists that they are on foreign/military policy, today's paleowhatevers are always claiming to support the war but never the one we are actually fighting. [Yet another arrow from the quiver of the antiwar antiAmerican left.] Who cares what paleos support or oppose? It isn't as though there were enough of these sad sack pseudo-conservatives to matter.
If paleowhateverism is the answer (the International A.N.S.W.E.R.????), then it must have been an uncommonly dimwitted question.
