Liberals never learn; they make excuses
Sunday, March 06, 2005
The New York Times approached a plate of crow Tuesday, took a few nibbles, then pushed the plate away.
.....
"The New York Times wants Bush to continue pressuring Syria for a withdrawal (from Lebanon)," said Web logger Ed Morrissey (Captains Quarters). "Do they think for a moment that Bashar Assad would even consider it without having 150,000 increasingly available American troops on his eastern border?"
That Assad is nervous is indicated by the fact that he has turned over to Iraqi authorities a half-brother of Saddam Hussein and 29 other Baathists.
"Our most lethal weapon against the tyrants is freedom, and it is now spreading on the wings of democratic revolution" said Michael Ledeen. "It would be tragic if we backed off now, when revolution is gathering momentum for a glorious victory."
But backing off is precisely what liberals want us to do.
Liberals underestimate what can be accomplished by courage and resolve because these are not qualities they possess. Liberalism is a can't cant. Every task is too difficult. Every danger is too great. This is why liberals don't oppose dictators until after they've been deposed by the likes of Reagan and Bush. While tyrants are still in power, liberal lips stay firmly glued to their backsides.
