The American Left's War Against America

I will quote verbatim from The Intellectual Activist's Rob Tracinski in his September 14 post. Mr. Tracinski has been pointing out to readers that the American Left is fighting a war - not against a common enemy but against its own country, America.

"Terrorism has been described as 'the weapon of the weak,' a weapon employed by those who cannot win in direct combat on the battlefield. That is the meaning of today's wave of bombings in Baghdad. The terrorist insurgency just suffered a defeat in Tal Afar --so they retaliate, not by attacking the US military or even the Iraqi military, but by blowing up Iraqi civilian day-laborers.

"As a military strategy, this makes no sense. If the insurgents keep suffering losses on the battlefield, and they can only answer by attacking unarmed civilians, how do they expect to win the war? The better question is: who do they expect to win the war for them? The answer: the American left, who they hope will use new terrorist attacks as an excuse to claim that Iraq is a "quagmire" and call for a US withdrawal.

"This is the sickening irony of the so-called "peace movement": that it is a crucial part of the terrorists' war strategy -- and that the terrorists commit the worst war atrocities known to man precisely to appeal to the "peace movement's" alleged humanitarians." (www.TIADaily).

Quagmire indeed. We are in a quagmire of unreason, hostility and "hatred of the good for being the good" (as Ayn Rand so eloquently put it) by our own citizens - the American Left led by such people as Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton and Jane Fonda (yup she's at it again).
