America Is So Tough It Doesn't Mind Looking Ignorant And Afraid

I have had some issues with Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) in the past, but holy cow is he ever full of sense right here. When he says that all the arguments against trying Khalid Shaikh Mohammed on American soil make us look “frightened and scared” to the rest of the world he is absolutely correct. Unfortunately, all the people who are making those arguments are the same people who made a big point of bellowing about how they didn’t care what the rest of the world thought about us during the whole Bush presidency. I can’t imagine that they give a shit now that we look like GIANT FUCKING PUSSIES WHO CANNOT CROSS THE STREET WITHOUT WETTING OUR PANTS. Which, you know, we are.
