A.N.S.W.E.R. Is Not The Answer
I didn't catch much of the "All the problems in the world are caused by America rally", but in the few moments I did see, I realized the crux of the argument could be distilled to this...
The anti-war left wants an immediate withdrawal from Iraq because they think it will be as "successful" as it was in Viet Nam.
Conservatives and the majority of rational Americans oppose an immediate withdrawal because they know it will be as disastrous as it was in Viet Nam.
Morons... put down your signs, take a shower and read some history. The killing in SE Asia didn't stop when we left, it ramped up tremendously. The same will happen in Iraq.
I see two drivers behind the irrationality of these people. Anti-Americanism -- killing is only bad when American is doing it (true for some of these boobs, especially the organizing groups), or narcissism -- killing is only bad if I have to hear about it and see it on the news or can somehow can be associated with the country doing it (true for most of the followers).
Fortunately the majority of Americans aren't buying the crap this time. Yes, support for the war is slowly waning, but the majority still knows that a rapid pullout would be the only action that would, with certainty, doom us and the Iraqis to "another Viet Nam".

A suggestion for the next Rainbow Coalition Act (RCA) ... Jesse can take Ms Sheehan in tow with the rest of the Hollywood southpaws (ie Brad, Angelina, Johnny, Babs, Leo) and head east to make it right (no pun there!) in Iraq. Instad, how about making a decent flick over 90 minutes worthy of my 8 bucks? Funny ... this is the only RCA piece that doesnt match up with what I have. Hmmm....
