As much as I respect the brilliance of John’s (he who has spent much time in Afghanistan) analysis, I lean somewhat toward Dennis’s interpretation above.

And if that interpretation is correct, it suggests that the intuition many of us have had over the past few years is correct: it is not that the American left holds an opposing political viewpoint within a range of viewpoints which would still support the survival of our country; rather, the left is on the other side of the war. We witness our arch enemy is using exactly the same language as Mr. Moore and his fans.

It is quite difficult to get one’s mind around how truly bizarre this development is.
