How Leftists Think

On Little Green Footballs I came across an article that captures better than any I have seen the nature of what passes for "thinking" on the left. It has it all -- America as a criminal enterprise, the Bush administration as Nazis, American soldiers as babykillers, the whole nine yards of leftist rant, all, as is typical, without reference to any evidence. This is not a political argument, it's a theological statement of belief, and a particularly Manichaean one at that, with America, Republicans, Bush and the military holding down the Evil side of the equation.

Meanwhile, Bill Crawford at NR Online summarizes the good news from Iraq.

Facts versus theology. Isn't that how liberals always characterize their arguments against the Right? But it's much more true in reverse.
