Wingers Demand Blind Faith

Wingers Demand Blind Faith

"What Hinderaker, Cheney and the rest don’t accept is that those who oppose the war love our country. We cherish our freedoms and want our way of life to improve and survive forever. What we don’t want is a foreign policy based on theological faith in the principal that a taste of democracy, especially this sort of U.S. imposed democracy at the point of a gun, somehow drives out terrorism and totalitarianism and neutralizes fundamentalist religions (other than Christianity, I suppose). We do not think that it makes sense to fight fundamentalist Islamic terrorism by attacking a secular dictator. We think that it does not cramp the domestic war on terrorism for judges to evaluate search requests after being informed of the actual evidence that an invasion of privacy is warranted."
