Who cares? Iraq wasn't the issue- at least not in the post I responded to. Al Qaeda Nadine. Al Qaeda.

The point was they were separate issues, and you can take more than one seriously, (for example, being worried about encroachments on our liberty, or the demonization of the opposition in the US, doesn't mean you don't take Al Qaeda seriously) and on top of that, Molly doesn't represent the entire left. I know you'd like it to be that simple, that Molly speaks for the entire left, and a little snippet from her is where it's at, but it isn't. And not taking the Iraq war seriously has zip all to do with the real battle against terrorism- at least in many people's minds. The "threat" of Saddam Hussein really doesn't have anything to do with Al Qaeda, and taking that threat seriously, which is where we started.

Gross generalizations about the left, and now a bunch of red herrings. Gawd. I'm so bored with all the emotional claptrap and mixed up facts. It's just so illogical.
