Up until the point that my younger brother outgrew me, I would pound him on a regular basis. Still, when we came up against an external threat (the dopey kid down the street, some mean bigger kid named Scotty), such divisions would fall apart. We recognized - even as children - that the things we had in common were more important than our differences.
What the heck is wrong with these guys? More to the point - which of George Bush's conservative positions do the folks at al Qaeda not share?
If all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing, and the UN under Annan is committed to doing absolutely nothing in the guise of stability, well, then, what should we expect.
George Bush's key distinction is his belief that just because something seems to be politically impossible, that doesn't mean it is. Stated otherwise - in the old paradox of the immovable object and the irresistable force, he has chosen to interpret the world's sole superpower as the irresistable force, which means that there is no immovable object. Until he actually does something bad with that belief system, it would be nice if the advocates of liberalism would actually stand for humanity and against corruption and tyrrany.
Yeesh.
