I know, and you know, that the "liberal" left in this country is not humiliated one whit. This is merely an unexpected detour in their march to dismantle the existing structure of the United States, using every available means at their disposal. So far, depending on Islamic militancy as a tool to expose the military and diplomatic weakness of the Bush Administration has proved to be somewhat unsatisfactory, so they will have to sharpen their knives and wits to enter into another aspect of the reconstruction of Iraq, in which it could possibly be demonstrated that George W. Bush is in over his head.

Islamic fundamentalism is a much different beast than the old Soviet model of Communism, however, and they may never be able to use the coming interactions to their advantage.

True - they are unrepentant, and their recent comeuppance just gives them a flag of victimhood in which to wrap themselves. They despise everything this country used to stand for, and they are spiral-eyed with hatred for those who dare to criticize them and hold them to account. it's still the same old game of masters and servants, and they're positively pissed that the 'help' dares to do anything except nod their heads in mute approval just like an old-style dashboard ornament. There isn't a one of these America-hating monsters that doesn't fit the definition of 'domestic enemy'.
