Your Name - Misha at

Your Name - Misha at the Rottweiler draws our attention to Tom Bennet, who has this classic letter in the SFGate - an ultraleft website:

Editor -- To the "Not in My Name" geniuses, the Hollywood posers, communists and anarchists posturing as "peace protesters": Iraq is on its way to being free; and just as you requested, it's not in your name. So, for the hundreds of children released from prison where they were held for not joining Saddam Hussein's army, that was not in your name. For the exposure of the torture chambers where Hussein and his henchmen killed and raped, that was not in your name. For the hundreds of Iraqis who will not die this year for speaking out against their brutal regime, that was not in your name. For the oil fields that will be turned into wealth and prosperity for the people of Iraq, that was not in your name. For the Iraqi citizens wildly cheering their glimpse of freedom as the statue of Hussein was toppled in Baghdad, that especially was not in your name.

In all of your names, as it happens, is this: a desire to prolong Hussein's regime; a sense of preening moral equivalence that believes that liberating Iraq was the same as or worse than 9/11; blood of the unacknowledge innocents on your hands.
