Logic

Nate discusses why liberals aren't willing to engage in rhetoric against illiberal regimes.

Apply the same logic to the pro-war position and we'll stop criticism of the Bush administration handling the war because it gives credence to the far left, Moveon, ANSWER coalition, anti-war/anti-globalization/anti-American camp.

Because "only a naif would view criticism in a vacuum," he's right, and he's siding with the anti-global movement, the social welfare/anti American French, and any number of murderous thugs who oppose the US flexing our muscles because it threatens their ability to illegitimately govern.

Privileging that group to the Bush administration is nothing to be proud of, if you ask me.
