Here.

I'm a liberal hawk, but even those with steelier resolve have to question what happened today. When this happens, the neocons and my argument (we must foster democracy) falls to pieces: if we're so hated we can't get democracy to flourish in a formerly secular country, what does this say about religious countries? When OPEC cuts production, the loony lefties (the old blood-for-oil) argument falls to pieces as well: if we went to war for oil, how come we can't even get it out of the ground? And why is OPEC winning over domestic producers? All you're left with is pure empire-building, which only the radical right espouses. And which leads us to today.

All we're left with is the charred bodies of men who were just doing their job. They deserved better than to go out like this. They deserved...a lot better.

As Americans, we need to all think about the people and policies that got us into this position, and ask ourselves if we really are making ourselves safer, or if we're pouring gasoline on a fire.
