They lack the courage of their convictions. That is it, they are moral cowards.

It is easy to call yourself an American when all that means is your dollar buys you a nice vacation in Mexico or whatever. It is a lot harder when it means you might have to lose your life or take some one else’s.

Vietnam marked us and while liberals say it was the worst time they don’t mean it. It was their shining moment. They saved the world then and they are going to save it now. Iraq is another Vietnam and any idiot can see it, the world hates us and they can’t all be wrong. It is our job to accept their judgment and to accept defeat in Iraq and admit we killed thousands for oil. Their sense of purpose is not roused by victory but by defeat. War is always wrong, only the bad kill. Except for their daddies in the Big One, that was different. But in truth of fact these same people would have been calling for appeasement of Hitler and self blame for Pearl Harbor. They would have disgraced their fathers’ generation instead of their own.

Fuck em. I am tired of trying to be nice to these people. Saddam was an evil man, let them explain why leaving the bastard there to torture small children gives them some moral superiority.
