• Liberals should embrace the war on terror because Islamist terrorists are attacking our freedoms, and liberals like freedoms. Islamic terrorists are attacking our presence in their parts of the world.
• The terrorists attacked London because it is a liberal-minded city with lots of freedoms. They attacked London because it is the capital of one of the countries that invaded Iraq.
• The mayor of London said the terrorists didn't attack the rich and powerful, but rather the working class...which shows that the terrorists wanted to attack people of all classes.
• Liberal Democrats should speak as clearly as the mayor of London. No commentary required.
• One of the thousands of people who post comments on the liberal website Daily Kos cheered on the British MP George Galloway, who had blamed the London attacks on Tony Blair's Iraq policy. He is right.
• Galloway is bad because almost all British politicians denounced him. They can't face the painful truth at this time.
• Even though the guy who runs the Daily Kos website didn't write the post about Galloway, I'm going to say he did. because I am desperate to make my point.
• Democrats are perceived as having a values problem because an articulate liberal writer pointed out the hypocrisy behind conservative calls for "moral clarity." Actually it's because they have failed to stand up to illegitimate attacks on their morals from Republicans.
• In the wake of the London attack, it is morally wrong and politically dumb for Democratic commentators to find fault with America's decision to invade Iraq and overthrow its government before condemning the terrorists first. Who didn't condemn the terrorists first? No one we know.
• Only a few thousand people regularly read liberal blogs, but the Democrats Party pays attention to them. Daily Kos gets something like tens of thousands of visitors per day.
• Tony Blair understands that winning the war on terror requires attacking the terrorists and dealing with the root causes. So do liberals.
• Blair said that on the day of the London bombings, he was working to reduce poverty in Africa and protect the environment. Bin Laden wasn't working to reduce poverty that day. On that day Blair was also commander in chief of an army invading a Muslim nation.
• People who used the London bombings to call for a withdrawal from Iraq are the worst. The London bombings are the latest sign that we should not be Iraq.
• If you hate the war in Iraq, you should support helping Iraqis get on their on feet politically and economically. We do. We focus on trying to locate the $9 billion American contractors have made disappear from the Iraqi rebuilding effort.
• If you think the violence in Iraq is directed toward the American presence, you're wrong, because the violence kills more Iraqis than Americans. That's partly because there are more Iraqis to target in Iraq than Americans. They don't have military equipment or a Green Zone to protect them. Anyway, we know who the violence is directed toward, and we know that we are essentially powerless to stop it.
• Abu Musab al-Zarqawi declared that he is at war against democracy, so that means the entire insurgency is at war against democracy. People who are more concerned about the violence in Iraq than about trying to ape conservative warhawks know that the insurgency is a complex mix of al Qaeda, former Saddamists, and ordinary Iraqis who are furious at the U.S. presence in their country.
