The Anti-War Left?
The tide shifted some time ago, but now the swell rises to heights that should have been, in my opinion, a starting point. Being against this war should not have ever been relegated to DailyKos and MoveOn.org, because the principles that were broken in its prelude and execution are ones that apply to us all, not just to liberal Democrats.
A CBS News poll says that 66% of those questioned would like to see US troop levels decreased, and that 77% feel that the war is going badly.
I have to be careful in citing this survey, because I think the number of people who answer polls for or against something is only sometimes (rarely?) related to the correctness of that thing (to wit: the nativist uproar last week against the immigration reform bill), but I think it's different when civilians and soldiers are dying at this rate, and the world seems not so much safer because of it.
Finally, a moment of levity is almost never unwarranted, and John Cole (who also gets the hat tip) brings it: "Why does America hate America?" Indeed.
