What's the Alternative?

Just opened today's Sunday New York Times and within 10 minutes found my temperature rising. On the front page is a grossly irresponsible article on the terrorist tragedy in Spain interspersing facts about the bombing with jibes at American foreign policy using recent protests in Madrid opposed to Spanish involvement in the War on Terror to suggest that the bombs would not have hit those trains if the Aznar government hadn't stuck by Bush and the United States. The Times provides front and center coverage of the 3,000 people who protested, not mentioning the eleven million people who came out two days before to protest terrorism and to show solidarity.

Perhaps worse though is the reality -- as one reads article after article on the world's international troubles and you come to the realization -- that most on the left offer absolutely no solutions to these problems except for one: run to the U.N. and get a Security Council resolution. Get a grip...only democracy will do the trick. Developing...as Drudge would say.
