“What kind of a sick bastard would write such a thing?
A bastard so sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq - that we have forgotten who the enemy is.”
“...a sick bastard...”
This is called “Truth in Advertising.”
From article: "A bastard so sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq - that we have forgotten who the enemy is. It is not Bush and it is not Hillary and it is not Daily Kos or Bill O'Reilly or Giuliani or Barack. It is global terrorists who use Islam to justify their hideous sins, including blowing up women and children. Iraq has fractured the U.S. into jigsaw pieces of competing interests that encourage our enemies. We are deeply divided and division is weakness. Most Americans today believe Iraq was a mistake. Why? Not because Americans are "anti-war." Americans have turned their backs because the war has dragged on too long and we don't have the patience for a long slog. We've been in Iraq for four years, but to some it seems like a century. In contrast, Britain just pulled its soldiers out of Northern Ireland where they had been, often being shot at, almost 40 years."
He makes some good points, but fails to realize that the unity would only last a few months, just like last time. After the initial shock and trauma wears off, the American America haters will always feel most comfortable laying the blame on their own country. Even if a terrorist slammed a plane right into their home in LA, killing their family and their dog.
