Quote:
Sadly, the vandals' actions are illustrative of how we have squandered our opportunity to face terrorism with unified and coherent action. The right's neocons orchestrated a war with Iraq that has destroyed national consensus and they are culpable for politicizing the individual soldier by repeatedly sending the message that to criticize policy equates attacking the soldier -- an allegation that is simply not true. Meanwhile, some on the left are returning to mindless violence.

I don't follow this logic. It's the neocon's (god I hate that term) fault that low lives on the left trashed Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Petithory because of the Iraq war? How about putting the blame where it rightly lays. I guess history will judge the merits of the Iraq invasion but I wish people would stop using it as a crutch to explain away abhorrent behavior.
