" The tree of liberty is apparently needing to be fed.... abroad... and unfortuneatly, at home..."

Sadly, I think the tree of liberty is just a stump right now. We have the greatest fighting force assembled to bring democracy and freedom to an oppressed people. The reaction of our nation? Per a FNC poll, 37% would let Sadamn stay in power if he disarmed. Disgusting. The reactions of France, Germany, Belgium and Russia should tell everyone why Stalin was tolerated so long and why Idi Amin was able to sun himself on the French Riviera. Our nation is the last hope for freedom in this world, yet our foolish liberals do not appreciate it. Sadly, I think it will take a nuke in one of our cities to make them realize what they have had, and even then, they will probably still blame us evil conservatives for starting the war.

Same as it always was. In a Democracy even fools have a voice. The difference between then and now is that we don't have sedition laws.

The other difference is that leadership was not overnight poll results.

I disagree. The liberals are not foolish, and fully appreciate it. But - to paraphrase Francisco d'Anconia - what makes you think their goal is freedom?

They opponents of war keep talking about keeping the pressure on. But they offer neither men nor money to make that possible, nor do they want to face up to the fact that no Arab state could possibly agree to keep a large force on the borders of Iraq indefinitely.
