I'm just pissed off by the stereotype that liberals are soft on defense or, in this case, terrorism. If we're admitting that it's a stereotype, then that's half the battle. It's about as accurate as the stereotype that conservatives don't care about the poor. (Actually, that one is a little more plausible, since the poor vote and terrorists don't, but I digress.)
The lefty critique of the Bush war on terrorism is not that he's trying too hard, it's that he's trying the wrong things.
