Peaceniks

Mike’s got a good roundup and debunking of ridiculous peacenik assertions regarding the second gulf war.  He doesn’t have comments on his blog, though, so you can’t reply and say "good one, dude."  Sadness.

One especially important point:

And for the last time, it is impossible to impose democracy on anybody. Liberty is the natural state of things only impeded by the government.

That warrants repeating, because it’s mind-bogglingly irritating to hear someone whine, "Who are we to FORCE DEMOCRACY on everyone!!"  You seriously have to be a brain donor to make that statement.  Democracy is the ability to choose the people who will represent you in your government.  It’s not a disease.  It’s not the plague.  And it’s not capitalism (which most reasonable people agree is a good thing, but many liberals do not).  It’s the ability to vote.  And saying that we shouldn’t "force" it on someone is tantamount to saying we shouldn’t "force" someone to breathe.
