COTD Update: Incapable Of Abstract Thought

clipped from pajamasmedia.com The intelligence of a man who thinks Iraq should have been conceded to Al Qaeda and Iran is obviously overrated. As Mark Steyn said prior to the war to liberate Iraq, the choice was between bad and worse. As difficult as Iraq was, it was better than leaving in power a terrorist supporting and terrorist harboring, mass murdering, genocidal Stalinist dictator who was in daily defiance of UN Ceasefire Resolutions for 12 years. If he had not been removed from power he would today be pursuing nuclear weapons and there would be no valid argument to deny Iran the same right and vice versa. A hallmark of the liberal mind is to criticize something without considering the alternatives. Gitmo is a perfect example.
