You definitely pegged one of the things that the blogosphere finds amusing, infuriating, and most potentially devestating to the Repubs -- the idea that holding views contrary to the President and his neocons is "leftist", "radical", etc., etc., etc. What burns me about that is [a] the incessant portrayal of being against this war making one "anti-war", and [b] that is somehow a bad thing.

I, and I'm pretty sure most Americans, have no trouble flexing our military might when we have to defend our country. That's kinda the point of having Armed Forces. But stupid, illegal, ill-thought-out wars... gee, why would anyone have a problem with that...? And I thought the idea of having a military was to win a war, i.e., end it. Not in Bush World, or Lieberville.
