Think about it - this is the way that all the leftists think about the war on terror:
if we could just ignore it, then we could pretend there isn’t a threat, but once you start fighting back, you acknowledge that there is a threat, and you are required to DO something.
Bush, by his “cowboy” attitude, embarrasses the “males” on the left by actually recognizing, stepping up and DOING something about the problem. They are exposed for the pvssies that they are.
And IMHO, American Leftists are not that much different from their Eurasian buddies (ever had your car keyed, or your tires slashed, for posting anything non-Leftist-non-PR on your bumper?). To the Leftists, it's a punishable crime, and they've appointed themselves the 'legal' judges & executioners.). IMO, you're better off trusting your kids & your life savings with a random stranger, than with a D@mocrat...
