Anti-Climacus

AND AGAIN: I, of course, made this same point at GW, and for it, was called a "revolutionary." Obviously I'm a better Marxist than any of those supposed liberals. Then again, Andrew Sullivan is on my side on this one, which I guess makes me a better conservative than anyone who was there... I'm just whupping them all over the political spectrum, aren't I?

"We are still at war over there against the Baathists and much of the current criticism of the occupation as a whole is ultimately designed to weaken domestic support for the vital task in front of us. That's what the anti-war left and right are now trying to do. They lost the battle before the war and during the war. They now desperately need the U.S. to lose the post-war. It's time for those of us who supported the liberation of Iraq to fight back against this potentially catastrophic gambit. For the U.S. to give up now, to withdraw, or to show any vacillation in the face of great progress in the Middle East, would indeed make matters far worse than if we had never intervened in the first place. We have an obligation to make it work. If some Democrats continue to argue that we should cut our losses, they are simply not ready for government."
