The terrorists have learned how to exploit the morality of democracies...

So has the Left. Cries of racism, sexism, homophobia and so on plus the alleged threat of Global Warming and myriad other issues that the Left claims to be concerned about are all dependent upon the rest of us living up to our morality. Terrorists and the Left hold us to a standard of perfection when it comes to our morality and when we are seen to violate those morals (whether we have or haven't) they denounce us as hypocrites and oppressors. Their actions aren't relevant. Only ours.

Gotta wonder, though (fair or unfair), just who learned this tactic from whom?
