Over at Amy Ridernou…

Over at Amy Ridernour’s National Center Blog, her husband David has a bunch of good questions to consider. Here’s a sampling, but RTWT (read the whole thing).

International terrorism is at a 35 year low; we’ve toppled a repressive, aggressive totalitarian regime; we put the architect of the Achille Lauro hijacking (in which American Leon Klinghoffer was killed) out of commission permanently; we’ve so frightened Libya that it has renounced terrorism and given up its weapons of mass destruction; AND we’ve shifted the frontlines of the war with terrorists from United States soil to Iraq – and they still say that the Iraq war is a distraction from the real war on terrorism.

If a handful of low-level subordinates out of several million working for you commit crimes, you should resign in disgrace. If you commit a crime yourself – say, by lying before a federal grand jury – you should stay.

The media led calls for Trent Lott to resign after he praised former segregationist Strom Thurmond, but the media was relatively silent when Senator Chris Dodd praised Robert Byrd, a former member of the KKK who has used the “n” word on network television in recent years.

When evidence of possible criminal acts by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee were leaked to the press, the leakers, not the Senators, were considered the problem. But when evidence of possible criminal acts by U.S. soldiers at Iraq’s Abu Ghraid prison were leaked to the press, the soldiers, not the leakers, were considered the problem.

Go take a look. A very good read.
