“AN EVIL CAUSE”

Here’s what cartoonist Ted Rall has to say about the end of Taliban rule in Afghanistan and the removal of one of the worst mass-murderers in modern history, Saddam Hussein: “The word ‘hero’ has been bandied about a lot to refer to anyone killed in Afghanistan or Iraq. But anyone who voluntarily goes to Afghanistan or Iraq [as a soldier] is fighting for an evil cause under an evil commander in chief.” The United States’ intervention in Afghanistan was “an evil cause.” Good to know. I will believe the mainstream left that they do not share Rall’s views when they stop publishing him. But they won’t, will they?
