Taro,

You are certainly entitled to speak for yourself, but you are ludicrous when you attempt to speak for progressives.

You say: our Libs, who have been watching this like spectators of a football match, secretly hoping for their own country to come out as losers

Rubbish. We don't want to be victims of George Bush's fast-and-loose fiscal irresponsibility granting huge corrupt profits to the likes of Halliburton, Bechtel, Custer-Battles and the other odious contractors who are picking at Iraq's carcass like a flock of vultures. We want honest and decent Americans to win. Not the band of rapists that Bush has turned loose on the Iraqi public and the American taxpayer. What is it about corruption that you fail to understand?

Then you dig yourself a bigger hole by trotting out one of the most tired of cliches: this is a case where political orientation counts more than their loyalty towards their own country.

What has loyalty to country got to do with refusing to go along with a criminal invasion of another nation for the sake of lining the pockets of a handful of bribers?

My gosh you have a warped view of what America ought to be about. Don't you have any sense of decency whatsoever? Bush is criminal, so are the people he is rewarding as he engages in an otherwise pointless slaughter in Iraq.

Bush is utterly and totally un-American. And the notion that he's doing God's work is completely beyond the pale. We are in a world of hurt in this nation, rapidly descending into a fascist and bankrupt hell.
