Right-Wing Nut Jobs
Sometimes, I wonder if these right-wing nut jubs bother to think.

Today, judging from the response from conservatives to the Iraq Study Group report, I'm forced to wonder if they have a brain at all.

"If they think the war cannot now be won, they need to explain that."

Would you like me to explain why the sky isn't red? What a f***ing moron.

'"We are fighting the spread of radical Islamist terrorism, and the two major production centers for that very problem are Tehran and Damascus," read a posting on the conservative site captainsquartersblog.com. "Holding a regional conference with them to determine anything but their surrender in that war only encourages the spread of the terrorism that we seek to end."'

Yes, and getting tough and invading Iraq has helped that goal how, exactly? Oh wait! It's bred *more* terrorism, hatred and suffering. Fools.

It's all very well to have good intentions - hell, even the 'realists' want to end terrorism and spread democracy. What matters is the tactics to be employed, and at the end of the day, your tactics can only be judged by the results they produce.

The conservatives think they're being brave and morally upright, but I say they are being cowardly. In their simple minds, there is only right and wrong, and answers are easy to come by. They have no room for nuance or the slightest bit of sophistry, and that simple-mindedness has gotten us where we are today. Thanks, Bush.

It is the realists, who are willing to take on the far more difficult task of supping with the Devil and forging consensus in a messy world where there are no right answers, that will succeed in stopping the spread of terrorism and promoting democracy.

It is the realists who are the heroes.

As for these so-called 'conservatives'? Let's call 'em what they are: Moral Morons.
