The last few days have drawn back the curtain from around a democratic party secret so hideous that a book about it went somewhat ignored.
Accompanying the mindless furor over Joe Lieberman's attempt to avoid the commissar enforced dialectic of the left, HAMAS and Hizballah did what they do best, and have set off something unexpected, and prompted what only those on the left (today) can do, something it is now apparent they MUST do, are compelled to do, cannot and don't want to resist doing.
