In a sane political environment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would be condemned for her hateful comments last Thursday. She claimed that Republicans “like war” –which is, she said, why Republicans want the Iraq war to continue.

The Democrats have sent a message to us, to the world, and to the terrorists. Their message is this: The lives of thousands of American citizens are less important than 35 seconds of physical discomfort for one Al-Qaeda terrorist. Americans have been burned alive, they have been obliterated, they have jumped to their deaths from skyscrapers after hijacked planes exploded into their workplaces. Americans have been beheaded. American troops in the process of defeating these terrorists have had their limbs blown off, have been killed by unspeakably horrific methods and their bodies desecrated. But those American lives are not as important to Democrats as the comfort of those who commit these despicable acts.
