Yoshie wrote: "The Afghanistan War gave the Bush Administration a great
deal of momentum.  If liberals had been capable of thinking in the long
term,
they might have opposed the Afghanistan War on the grounds that it
would embolden the Bush Team to undertake more and bigger wars abroad
and crush civil liberties at home _even though they had thought that
the Afghanistan War was justified_, but liberals don't think
strategically."

--Far easier to take the lazy way out and blame "hate" among the "left"
for the failure of liberalism.
