Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb and ask if Brandon is enaged in some sort of parodic excercise.

"You can doubt all you want. The plain fact of the matter, though, is that the ever-so-complex, liberal diplomacy with all its sophisticated little grey areas (which I'm sure you prefer) has done absolutely nothing to make us any safer from terrorism. "

The 'plain fact'? That's just Vinth minus the communication disorder. Who made you privy to plain facts versus personal opinions? I think there are a few people out there who may have enjoyed not blowing up at LAX on the Millenium. And if you mean since 9/11, you're aware that ever-so-complex, liberal diplomacy with all its sophisticated little grey areas (which I'm sure I do prefer, thanks) hasn't been tried, so we have no idea what sort of a job it would do, unless we're psychic or in some other way privy to plain facts.

"It's easy for liberals to call a hard-line approach to the War on Terror "codswallop," but people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. "

Which 'glass house' are you thinking of? The Bay of Pigs? 'Cause I thought that was kind of less than liberal. Bay of Tonkin resolution? Democrats lies stink the same as Republicans. Which bit of empire building, red herring, america endangering distraction are you thinking is my glass house, exactly? Sure, there's a time for war. The annexation of Poland, the invasion of Kuwait, genocide in Rawanda (oops!). The gulf of Tonkin and this entire war don't pass my 'liberal' muster.
