Nice try, Herr Rove

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Progressive Talk Radio host Doug Basham

On Wednesday evening, at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State, Bush's brain, Karl Rove uttered the following… "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." He went on to say, "Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year? Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al-Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."

Quite frankly, I found the Democrats response to this blasphemous utterance, while strong, inadequate. Presented with yet one more golden opportunity to expose George W. Bush's war on an abstract noun for the colossal sham and misguided adventure it is, one Democrat after the other stuck their chests out and proclaimed they were just as "tough on terror" as George W. Bush.

NO! Defend a war on terror if you must, but expose the fallacies of attacking entire nations as the preferred method of engaging in it.

While other writers can count the ways we did come together as a nation after 9-11, and how this is the time we need to "unite" (Hello, don't you get it? These people don't want unity?!), let me offer what would've been my preferred response.
