And over at Democratic Underground the usual suspects are very unhappy that the Iraqi people are not still under the boot of Saddam. For them the real crime is that their freedom came at the hands of George W. BushHitlerCo. Black helicopters are hovering over shanties all over liberal-land at this very moment. And while there were some more sensible voices urging clear thinking, the Stalinists in charge made sure that their posts were removed from the historical record so that no one's thinking would be contaminated with impure thoughts. Posts like these:
If you want to cheer on a bunch zealots who stone gays and beat women or power-mad fascists, then go over to Pat Robertson's or the neo-Nazi's website. It's that kind of anti-democratic Democratic thinking that is turning the DNC into the minority party everywhere.
If what happened today in Iraq is screwing up the world, then we've got to figure out how to screw it up faster. Maybe if we could screw up mainland "company town" China their workers could have real unions and be able to bargin for better conditions. Let's screw up Iran next. After their wars women are enough of a majority there they might could elect some feminists.
Why does Bush say he wants to spread freedom around the world? If that's what American's want to here, then let's get out in front of it and complain from the cutting edge that the conservatives are too slow. Tell people that if they want to make sure its done right then who better than the party of Jefferson and Wilson and Roosevelt.
This short-sighted "the enemy of my political oponent is my friend" obsession is not only going to alienate voters, it's going to destroy an otherwise great opportunity to spread democracy around the world.
