That reminds me of something I read in the last 24 hours, by one of my favorite authors ever, Florence King, in a column written the last day of the year 2001.
As always, language irritants have abounded this past year. Leading the list is "It's not a matter of if, but when" in reference to the next terror attack. I don't contest the truth of it; what irks me is the preening that accompanies it liberals suddenly advertising themselves as realists after spending their entire pre-Sept. 11 lives as total idiots.

I agree. It is also disconcerting to watch them act as if they have always supported a strong military, when they fight tooth and nail to dismantle what we have constantly.
