Acting strangely like the zombies from Night of the Living Dead, the anti-war crowd continues to protest a war that for all intents and purposes is over. They are joined by their supporters among the Democrats and beyond, as well as their allies in the liberal media, who persist in reporting on their every activity.
Because of their single-minded insistence that this war was wrong, and that President Bush and his administration were acting criminally in pursuing it, the anti-war crowd--including many prominent Democrats--have cemented their irrelevance in the post-war period. All leftist claims to being motivated by human rights, justice, and progressivism, have crumbled under the weight of history.
When the statue of Saddam Hussein came tumbling down in Baghdad to the cheers of the Iraqi people, a new era was born, one that the anti-war crowd will not be a part of. That is, unless you count the ongoing sniping and cynicism that seems to be their sole contribution to the world. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s mocking comment that ''we could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less,'' is a case in point. And the dust had barely settled in Baghdad, before the usual suspects began second-guessing our military and launching into typical predictions of doom and gloom. Now they’ve moved on to protesting the ''occupation'' of Iraq and U.S. plans for ''empire'' in the Middle East.
The anti-war movement and all it encompasses--Democrats, Hollywood pundits, rebellious musicians, bad-mannered poets, the intellectual elite, and the liberal media--couldn’t have been more wrong about Iraq. And the utter callousness and arrogance with which they’ve managed to dismiss the liberation of an oppressed people, proves their intellectual dishonesty. It’s definitely time to put the zombies to rest and leave the future to the living. |
