But the only "just war" that leftists believe in is the "war against poverty"
No, for a
long time the only "just war" has been one in which the US had NO national interest to protect, hence Korea and Vietnam. (Did you know there was actually one leftist in congress that voted AGAINST declaring war on Japan on 12/08/41?!?) That's why the left wishes we had had committed our military to overthrowing the white-majority governments of Rhodesia and South Africa a couple of decades ago, supported our escapade in Somalia and the bombing of Serbia, and would like to see our troops in Darfur today.
The people who fail to see how horrible this president truly is are also the ones who believe that they "Hate us for our freedoms". Essentially scared into supporting Bush's trampling of the constitution.
Bush sucks . . . though not entirely for the reasons libs assert. The lesser evil is still evil, and a great many people who cast Bush ballots were holding their noses and suppressing their gag reflexes when they did so.
But Algore and/or Kerry would have been worse . . . the
only positive thing that
may have resulted from those administrations would have been a GOP congress that actually adhered to GOP principles like fiscal responsibility . . . something sadly lacking for the last 7 years.
Finally, note that Bush's approval rating is hovering around 30%, meaning 7 out of 10 people don't like the job he's doing. But that doesn't mean they want a sharp turn to the left - note that the Democrat -controlled Congress has an approval rating that's flirting with single digits.
