I was thinking about showing this to my mother-in-law. She's one of those "oh-so-knowing" George Bush slammers.
I'm a libertarian, and I'll slam Bush for excessive foreign adventurism and creeping socialism at home, but I agree with this lefty that anyone has the right to depose a brutal tyrant.
Of course, I've been convinced that government is only legitimate when it uses our tax money for good purposes and effciently. Taxes taken from those who oppose the government's actions are stolen from them. Those who are well-pleased with what the government is doing now but wish for it to do more have no argumentative basis upon which to withhold their money, those who oppose the actions do have such a basis, and must be persuaded.
