I take immediate offense to any comment about keyboard commandos, because the idiot making such a statement has no idea of the background of any other poster. Equally moronic is the tired liberal challenge to 'go over there and fight youself'. I won't even get into it.

Yes, war is terrible. Perhaps more liberals need to look into, and smell the stench, of mass graves to realize the responsibility of being a world power.

Peace is great when you can sit all comfy and cozy in the U.S., and ignore the real tragedies in the world. It might give a different perspective on pumping out anti-U.S. propaganda. So to use your suggestion, why don't YOU go over there if you care so much?

Ever heard of Theo Van Gogh?

As usual, he even makes it personal with his comments on Goldberg and starts off by calling Levin a war monger simply because he sees Islamofascism as a clear and present danger.

And by the way; The terrorists WERE trained in Iraq, and the Iraqi gopvenment DID have an active weapons program.

Just FYI.

If people had a better sense of how horrible war is....

....Perhaps they'd not have declared war on us, huh?

And can you doubt the power of propaganda (whether written or graphic or danced) to sway public opinion in a positive and negatives ways.

So, if not "fight", then what would you say George Cohen, Thomas Paine and all those Soviet graphic artists were doing with their talents?

Lunacy

OTOH, the 101st Fighting Keyboarders are just pitiful. If people had a better sense of how horrible war is, we wouldn't see so much faux-machismo. Ain't nothin' stoppin' 'em from heading on down to the Armed Forces Recruiting Station ...

I think you are mistaken because you have ignored the history of Executive Orders, Congressional actions and United Nations Resolutions leading up to the March, 2003 Iraq invasion.

What you call "lies" are not lies at all. If you can quote me one passage in a Bush speech leading up the Iraq war that he had no rational basis for believing at the time it was made, I will listen to your argument. Otherwise, I cannot accept the premise of your comment.

Americans are not dumb. We know this war is not worth it. And Bush scrambling about trying to find some reason to convince us that it is worthwhile is beyond pathetic. It is insane.

Blaming Americans, like Bithead does, for not falling for the lies is not very smart either. Nor is it productive.

The minority of Americans who still want to fight innocent foreigners must have their own personal reasons. Fine. Let them go fight Innocent foreigners. Most of us just don't want you to use our military or our treasury to do so. Leave us out of it. That is how most of us think.

We have a job to do that Bush has left unfinished. We still need someone willing to go get Osama and the others responsible for attacking America.

When that is done we will finally have justice.

Regardless, however, I join Glenn Greenwald in rejecting the notion at least implied by Steyn that those who write about the war are thereby �fighting� the war.

Not so fast.
What would you say of those opposed to the war effort who claim they're fighting for peace?

I submit when so much of the battle campign of radical islam is slated in the public opinion arena, that fighting for hearts and minds here at home, is half the battle anymore. Consider, if allowed to run unchecked, where would the anti-war crowd take us?

That way lies the defeat of Vietnam, and the elslavement of that entire region following our early withdrawal, for example.
