WTF? Roger needs to spend some time with the head sawer offers and then get back to us.
Even in the U.S., there is sufficient minority support for jihadist violence among Moslems that it should give Roger pause, because it undermines his claim.
He doesn't recognize in his discourse that jihadist violence doesn't require a consensus or a favorable referendum or election to be carried forward.
On the other hand, he is all too quick to award the palm for having "won" the opinion war to his Bush-despiting, news-spinning colleagues, and nailing a moral claim to that, that the Administration and its supporters are morally, intellectually, and politically bankrupt -- and ontologically Wrong about everything.
They just happen to be right on the overall concept, Roger, which is worth something even if your colleagues have filtered and spun their way to a propaganda win at home. (And we'll see about that.)
Roger doesn't seem to have stopped to reflect that the political competition isn't exactly equipped to have the foggiest idea what to do about medieval barbarians who like to kill people. He is, like Michael Moore, too wrapped up in the immediate satisfactions of delivering a verdict against a president he dislikes.
