My political gullibility is an embarrassment.

Your political gullibility is more than an embarrassment, Posner, it was a fatal error. People like you put names on walls by reason of the people you vote for.

Posner frequently appears on History Channel and was obviously affected by the 911 attacks. He is still a liberal, but he understands that living in a free and prosperous democracy is preferable to living in a dictatorship or islamofacist state.

Appeasement gets you nowhere, as Europe learned from Hitler.

Not everyone in Europe learned that lesson apparently.

"In 1972 I was a freshman at UC Berkeley, then proud to boast it had the only city council in America that refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Carrying around baby-doctor Benjamin Spock’s leftist manifesto on Vietnam, I quickly became an activist during the next two years in immense antiwar protests that seemed almost daily occurrences at Berkeley."

1972? Sounds like the boy was a few years late but still fashionable.

Saddam must be delirious with joy to think that not a shot has been fired, and the same old suspects – Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Ramsey Clark - are taking to the streets and leading many impressionable and idealistic young Americans in trying to stop a war that is, unfortunately, a necessity....see also Vietnam: The Necessary War by Michael Lind......

Will today’s current peace protestors eventually feel as foolish as I do? I think even more so.

Ask Tom Hayden or Jane Fonda or Robert Scheer if they feel foolish. Ask any of David Horowitz's former allies if they feel foolish.

These people never feel anything but hatred towards America. They never admit they were wrong and simply move on to their next cause.

When we see Iraqis defacing all of those hideous Saddam paintings and statues it will be quite a moment

Isn't Gerald Posner the guy who admitted shortly after 9/11 that he was wrong about supporting Al gore? He said that he was very vocal in the "Bush-stole-the-election" crowd -- he even chipped in to pay for a full-page ad in a major paper accusing Bush of stealing the election.

He basically said that after 9/11 the idea of a Gore presidency scared the you know what out of him. He admitted that he didn't know that Bush didn't win, but that he had believed that he knew better than the voters who was the right man for the job and so he was trying to get Gore installed as president regardless of who was actually elected.
