The only regular Guardian columnist who supports the war. Her credentials are pure left, not even harm could say they aren't. But she can distinguish between a right thing and opposing America, much to her credit she can see they are not the same. It's also nice when a blow dried airhead on the left gets savaged by someone who can actually articulate a thought out position.

The left can never be more than a fringe until it starts behaving like it truely believes that words have consequences. Wild distortions and bald faced lies may fire up the faithful, but how does that convince a nonlefty? They need to stick to truth, if it doesn't serve them, then maybe they should reconsider being on the left.
