“It’s been claimed that liberals can’t cope with the reality of evil, hence deny the necessity to fight it. But the existence of evil isn’t really liberals’ problem; it’s that they see it in the wrong places.
Whether it was Vietnam, the Cold War, or now the War on Terror, liberals always shine the spotlight on alleged sins of U.S. presidents or the U.S. military. The names Nixon, Reagan, and Bush are actually talismans of evil for them, but not the savage regimes and movements that they fight….
And when America really does screw up — as in My Lai, or Abu Ghraib — that’s when liberals go wild. At such times you find out how very little they’re impressed by things like dirty bombs, Iranian nukes, or Saddam’s mass graves. With America and the world facing unprecedented, apocalyptic threats, liberals lust only to topple an admired, experienced U.S. defense secretary of proven effectiveness. Liberals don’t believe in evil? No, they believe in it; but they see it in us.”
