liberalism will get us killed

www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060828/OPINION/608280320/1002

The link above will take you to an op-ed written by former U.S. Congressman Lee Hamilton of Indiana. Mr. Hamilton is a Democrat who served in the U.S. House from 1965-1999. Currently he serves as the director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington D.C. Before I discuss the article, I need to make clear my personal thoughts about Mr. Hamilton. Lee Hamilton, a liberal Democrat, is one of the finest men who has ever served in the Congress. He is a good and decent man of integrity, and he served the citizens of south-central Indiana with honor. Mr. Hamilton is a man who loves God, America, and his family and you will never hear me say anything negative about the man's character.
Now, having said that, please allow me to say that Mr. Hamilton is flat-out wrong with the opinions he expresses in his column. To summarize, Mr. Hamilton says that the U.S. must lead by example in terms of reducing the world's nuclear arsenals. In other words, if we expect countries like North Korea or Iran to get rid of their nukes, we must first get rid of ours.
With all due respect to this good and decent man, that kind of thinking is childish and will get us killed! How many times does the strategy of appeasement have to be proven wrong before liberals finally get it? Will liberals ever gain the wisdom necessary to understand that evil on the scale of Islamofacism must be met with overwhelming force in order to destroy it? Apparently the cancer of liberalism also destroys wisdom. Mr. Hamilton is a very intelligent man, but he clearly doesn't have the ability to discern what the right course of action is in our war against terrorism.
