What I don't understand is how a relatively simple concept can seem like advanced mathematical theory to so many rightists.

Liberals who think the war is wrong, and that Bush is digging us deeper into a hole, also know that it is not the fault of our troops. They are ordered to go, and to do their best, to achieve victory. The problem is not with the troops, but with the leadership. Is that really so hard to understand?

Many who grew up during the Vietnam war saw the unfair vilification of our troops when it was really the lying leadership - from LBJ to Nixon, from McNamara to Westmoreland - who should have been vilified.

The hypocrisy of the right to claim that they cannot understand this simple concept - the leadership is wrong, but our troops are doing their sworn duty - is amazing. These are the same rightists who smeared veterans of previous wars - Kerry, Murthy, Cleland, McCain - for cheap political purposes.

Once again, the right rises to new heights - of hypocrisy.
