Eye for an eye
<In America there is a large resevoir of people who are opposed to slaughtering people who have not harmed us. Who recognize the "eye for an eye" principle requires that an "eye" be taken first.
You volunteering your eye?
Anyway, most of these same peaceniks were also protesting our attacks on the Taliban and Al-Quaeda, who most definitely attacked us first, so obviously there is more to it than that.
It's sad that the Left has fallen so far that they would rather kiss the ass of a creature like Saddam than support the Evil West. Where are the commies from the good old days, who demanded that America help take out Franco during the Spanish Civil War?
