Liberty and Culture's latest post deals with the nuclear threat, and it's probable assailants. Below is a sample of the left's inability to defend or retaliate against even the most deadly enemy. Gone are days of FDR and JFK, liberal men who would've defended our great nation to whatever cost necessary to acquire victory. Today's liberal believes America brings it upon itself, and therefore cannot in good conscience strike an enemy that is, in their mind doing what any good person would do in similar circumstances. They just can't condemn terrorists because they don't see their deeds as terrible.
Not to be outdone in defeatism, passivity, and denial, the New York Times, in an op-ed called “After the Bomb” is concerned about avoiding another Katrina-like response of the Federal government when (not if) we are attacked. A passing quip urges that we resist “the temptation … to retaliate.” Instead the author urges that we grovel for the cooperation from the governments who gave the terrorists nuclear technology. No mention is made of the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction that kept our enemies from using nuclear weapons (either directly or through proxies) during the Cold War. Read it all.
