#1 I like this part: "Happy the land for whom crossfire is purely televisual and metaphorical. But, when it turns real, it's important to know the difference."

#2 Actually there is a more sinister (and cowardly) aspect to the Left's retreat into fantasyland:

The real Jihad is terrifying, as are the other terroristic ideologies. All you have to do is read Michael Yon's article on what Al Qaeda would do to children and you'll have nightmares for a week.

Faced with this fear, (and very real danger) it is easier and safer to let out all your rage at someone (like Christians) who aren't going to kill you.

That is why the Left hates Bush so much. They can't admit they're afraid of those little brown people and they don't want to sound like a bunch of right wingers. They also don't want to admit they have no idea how to defend themselves.

So they define the problem as a rightwing conspiracy and then they can ignore the threat.
