I have posted, and will continue to post, statement after statement from leaders of the left that confirm the point of view I have stated here. It is too bad that this is the consensus view from the left, but it is, and you will see the drumbeat for this view heat up as it takes longer and longer to get results in this war on Terrorism.

Bill,

If you are serious about these assertions, then read some of the recent literature on the left. You might start with recent issues of The Nation. Their columnists and essayists are all over the lot on the war. Christopher Hitchens is a LindyBill kind of guy on this point; others fit your stereotype; still others write very carefully thought through articles on the concept of a just war.

The left is a conversation not a rigid ideology. And, like the center and the right (whatever these distinctions mean), it has its share of closed minded types, as well as open minded ones.
