Open Letter to ol' Doctor Horsefeathers

Stephen, this kind of stuff is just a little bit too poor.

After your worthwhile observations on the thousand petty slights to one's ego that a normal day may bring, which were pithy and to the point, you next opine
"It's very difficult to accept that people want us dead so that Allah's perfect world can come into existence"
This then is you talking to the librull strawman that you're obsessing about through all of your essays - a strawman that probably doesn't even approximate to more than a tiny fraction of the livin' 'n breathin' 'n Bush-hatin' liberals you despise.

It's a strawman because in reality - the reality of almost anyone who lived through the events of September 11 if nothing else - it's not at all hard to comprehend just, precisely, what you are claiming them stoooopid librulls jist don't get.
Stephen - they all understand that there are Muslim fanatics out to murder Americans. So the reason people see George Bush as a fool and a danger is not that they just don't get what you believe they can't understand.

So you're wrong. So are most of us most of the time so you're in company, bud. When you get to a point where you can conceive that others may deplore this administration's approach while themselves being under no illusions whatsoever as to the nature of the Islamic fanaticism we face, and being willing to take the fight right to those terrorists with nothing other in mind than the intent to win the battle and the larger war as well - then you'll be writing better stuff than you are today.
Best wishes,
Nort [possibly channelling Joe Conrad]
