I am not blaming the stock market on Bush. Nor do I think discussing how these folks landed up in this situation is helpful. I'm merely saying that most people have other things on their minds than the so called "War on Terrorism". (By the way, please excuse me for not listing the epitome of all crises, Cuban Crisis, in my previous rant.)

If you had merely said that, I wouldn't have taken you to task. But to the extent that your remark implies that the US isn't actively engaging the organized terrorist networks aggressively, that's simply not the case. We are.

It's not the only concern of our President. His radio address today was about budgetary matters. Hardly the stuff of Wag the Dog.

We face challenges on many fronts. Most are unrelated to the War on Terrorism. Many liberals are uncomfortable with the fact that Americans support the President, and they attribute that to the war efforts. Undoubtedly, they are partially correct, at least.

The next step for liberals is to argue that the war itself is phony, and something the President is using to boost popularity levels. This is the argument of Cynthia McKinney and now you.

It's not a particularly persuasive argument.
