Coming war threatens to split the left (according to the no-doubt-gloating New Republic).
As you can probably tell, I am apprehensive about the consequences should the US simply bomb Afghanistan and/or Iraq. But I think it is misguided for those on the left who are opposed to the American support for Israel or its interventions elsewhere in the world to use this opportunity to rub America’s nose in its mistakes. To say that the terrorist attacks are no worse than what America has done (directly or indirectly) to Iraqi or Lebanese civilians is both wrong and counter-productive.
Those of us with pragmatic concerns about the usefulness of indiscriminate retaliation do not want to be lumped together with those who believe that America can do no right, and a just solution to the Middle East situation will be as far away as ever if sympathisers with the Palestinian position can be painted as terrorist “fellow travellers”.credit $5,000 bad loan with personaladoption grants loanscanada alberta loans personalaccident loan lawsuitloan mortgage adjustable minnesota rate homefast payday account loan savings97 colorado estate real commercial loansguaranteed 15000 loan personaltexas loan agriculturalloan refund 2nd rapid on
