do they suggest if we find Saddam that we dust him off and set him up back in his palace with an official apology?
Well, I'm sure they'd agree with the apology bit.
Of course it would be wrong of us to set Saddam back up in power; who are we to say who should be governing Iraq?
You see it's not about what we should do, nor is it about what's right and wrong.
With the leftists, its about being weak, because being strong is dangerous. They trust those who speak at length and carry a short bent stick.
They'd replace the engines in our ships with oars, to lessen the risk of (or at least speed of) going astray. Engines are dangerous.
... guess if you lack a moral compass, power is dangerous ...
Being strong isn't just dangerous to them, it's wrong. They feel guilty that we have a strong and wealthy country. It fitss right in with multiculturalism and moral equivalence. Every culture and people and nation-state is equally valid and worthy. Therefore, we should never make anyone else change or even influence them to be more like us.
Today's liberals are closet dictators. They just don't realize it. But they like the French have a soft spot for dictators -- just think of Fidel. The world would be perfect in their minds if only they could be or pick the right benevolent dictator.
Liberals are fonder of Fidel Castro than they are of George Bush -- and they view the former as a more legitimate head of state. That is a frightening thing. I loathed Clinton, but I cherish the process that allowed my misguided fellow citizens to elect him twice. When did liberal democrats go so wrong that they stopped championing human rights EXCEPT when there is no national interest in doing so? They are ashamed of being Americans and of America's power. Viet Nam made this generation of liberal leaders lunatics. They deserve political oblivion.
