This thread reminds me of what, in my view is one of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives. There’s nothing wrong with conservatism until it’s underlying cynicism begins to eclipse objective assessment of actions and conditions. That’s what’s happening with Len in this thread. His issue is not that the (to his mind) demonized “left” is railing against the deaths in Iraq – his issue is rooted in cynicism about the reasons why they are railing against the deaths in Iraq. Cynicism bordering on paranoia eclipsing reason. And he tries to use that as evidence of the invalidity of the anti-war argument.
Oh yeah – the liberals don’t really care about dying soldiers, they only say they care as a way to advance their evil agenda to undermine the current administration.
