Cheney reaction
Shrieking lunacy obviously runs in the Cheney family. What is a bit scary is that this nutter, who believes America faces an "existential threat" from the Iraqis who are simply trying to make Yankee go home, was once employed by the government to formulate policy on the "Near East".I note this:
Brave activists are also standing with us, fighting for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the empowerment of women.
Yes, and if they're lucky, our "allies" just flog them, rather than beheading them.
And this:
We will have to fight these terrorists to the death somewhere, sometime. We can't negotiate with them or "solve" their jihad.
Wrong on both counts. We could just leave their country and stop killing them. And you can always negotiate with people who want something. Furthermore, Cheney makes the mistake, if it's an accident, often made by rightists, of confusing "dreams" for "plans". As I noted in my previous post on the SOTU, what you might like in the ideal world and what you think feasible are two different things. Only the latter is a problem, unless you want to fight a war on pipedreams.
