Omar, the funding vote was a narrow margin win for Dems. That margin is further discounted because The Prez guaranteed a veto, so it was safe for a number of fence-sitting Dems to vote to protect themselves against their own left wing. I personally don’t see how anyone could urge Iraqi patriots to hit the streets in target-rich demonstrations which would draw homicide bombers like ants at a picnic. But you and your compatriots must come up with an effective way to influence the small number of Dems who make the difference here. And please find a way to more directly influence your own fence-sitters, while you’re at it.
Just ignore the Hermans and the Steves and the Saras, they’re so self-centered that they will accept dhimmitude before its even demanded of them. Herman,you with the wallet-based morality, how will you resolve your priorities when the jihadis present the US,and the UN, too, with a requirement for armed response in sub-Sahara? Have you got the dollar limits figured out yet? Something like this, maybe: If an Iraqi life cost the US “x”, and a US soldier or civilian life cost “y”, and a Coalition life cost “z”, then we should be willing to spend how much(maybe:x+y+z/3?)per African? Is the bottom line cost what determines your moral position? Darfur and Somalia may be good scratch pads for you to work out the math.
