That's why, dearest
And so it is. We have heard from the left, to the top of our ringing ears, capillaries all a-bust, about the silencing of dissent in this administration. That's like Lizzie Borden wielding her famous hand ax, shouting "Murderer!" as she cleaves into her poor papa's head... Times seem that insane.
Jonah Goldberg delivers a pretty fine analogy concerning the Iraq war:
It's amazing when you think about it. The media, the United Nations, the French and the Democrats have thrown everything imaginable, fair and unfair, at Bush, and he still leads by double digits on the issue of who's better at fighting the war on terrorism and winning in Iraq.

Jonah Goldberg delivers a pretty fine analogy concerning the Iraq war:
If you live in a house infested by rats, you may think it's OK to tolerate them for a while. They're just a "nuisance," as John Kerry might say. You might, if you're Bill Clinton, tolerate a series of "minor" rat attacks. But when one of your children dies from a bite, you do everything you can to kill the rats and plug up all the rat holes to protect your family. You don't care which specific rat was responsible for the death. You simply do everything necessary to make sure nothing like that ever happens again. In the post-9/11 world George Bush faced a world with a lot of rat holes. The most obvious, urgent and "doable" rat hole was in Baghdad.
