“If Democrats win in '06, Bin Laden can claim victory.”
-- Some GOP numbskull, presumably - Scheuer?
I just got that line on Fox News. It is perhaps known that I appreciate the argument that there are significant elements in the West that seem to believe the jihadists and terrorists have the moral high ground, and if such voices are empowered, it might be said that the West has lost the will to fight and survive. Some of those elements may even be in the Democratic party. Neverthemore, to lay that charge upon the party as a whole is just another one of those provocations that lead one to pick up things and smash them against the wall. It is that kind of silly argument that convinces me that the Republicans also are not up to the conflict. We have too many small-minded idiots, too few real leaders.

It's also interesting to think what might happen should we turn to real foreign policy issues rather than wagging the dog of terrorism out there. Single-minded Republican obsession with hunting down "evil-doers" makes me think a bit of the bumbling chase comedies where we all have a good laugh at the compulsive, foolish hunter going after the wascally wabbit.
