Seems to me we did stop the war. We did it by means of superior strategy, tactics, training and technology and we did it quickly and relatively cheaply in terms of human lives and material destruction. The antiwar crowd are outraged because we did it by achieving victory instead of retreat.

I note with interest their absence from the streets, both local and foreign, when our emabassies, ships and buildings were bombed. I note that the 'human shields' fled their posts when the ordinance began to fly. I note that the principles they espouse are at wide variance from the principles they practice. All of which means that there is another agenda at play here, one that is, in many, even most cases (excepting the clueless tagalongs), kept carfully under the table rather than on it.

One way to summarize that hidden agenda is this: "Down with us. All power is illegitimate, every exercise of power is immoral. The stronger the power the more immoral and illegitimate it is. Therefore all power must be brought low and replaced with something else, anything else so long as the power that was is no more. We (Americans) are powerful, as a nation the most powerful on the planet at this time. Therefore America is inherently immoral and illegitimate, and must be destroyed. Anyone who disagrees with or questions any part of this self evident truth is corrupted by power and discredited thereby."

This neo-Marxist philosophy is the cornerstone of the left's political agenda. I submit that if you look you can see the threads of it permeating their policies.

The pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me. Especially, and specifically, with regard to the previous occupant of the Oval Office.
