That doesn't make everyone who fights them good. Stalin fought Hitler tooth and nail when he had to.
Compare and contrast the Bad Guys:
Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers. Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war. Conservatives saw what happened to us on 9/11 and said we will defeat our enemies. Liberals saw what happened to us and said we must understand our enemies....and the Good Guys:
I am deeply disturbed and disappointed that the Bush White House would continue to use the national tragedy of September 11th to try and divide the country. The lesson our country learned on that terrible morning is that we are strongest when we unite together, that America's power is in its common spirit of democracy and freedom.I will say this about our side -- we are often reluctant to use the language of good and evil, particularly now, when the Shrub has tainted the concept of such stark contrasts. In this case, however, it's really simple. One side has routinely attempted to put aside the partisan crap when it comes to defending our country and its ideals. The other has done everything it can to drive a wedge between Americans in the hopes of scraping a few more voters into its corner.
I leave it as an exercise to the reader which is which.
