You are right, and I'll add that if folks on the left want to cry about countries we don't fix, it's as if they'd be happier if we took care of them all indeed, instead of just Iraq and Afghanistan and... . Hence, I scratch my head since handling Iraq alone, they say, has spread us too thin to capture Bin Laden. Its inconsistent to argue both, really. But if both arguments are well twisted up to Brush Bush Black, what do they care of logic? They just don't want war, don't want to bother with intervening, really, in any of these places, and don't believe the consequences of not acting would be bad. They are just wrong, as most Americans would agree.
