Reply #2: This argument is the equivelent of calling liberals girly men [View All]

While I do agree with some of Beinert's points (I do think we need to be serious about the threat faced by Radical Islam), the argument that we need to be more "muscular" is just so much crap. The point isn't that President Bush is more muscular than Liberals and so is willing to do what must be done.

The point is that President Bush has, apparently, a very limited selection of tools he's willing to use to deal with the problem of Radical Islam. Invading Iraq, for example, wasn't the smart thing to do; it was the stupid thing to do. It has not moved us closer to our goals, and probably has moved us further away. Someone who doesn't think with their "muscles" might have come up with a better answer--say letting the UN inspectors finish their job for example?
