A Brilliant Question

Hugh Hewitt asked this question at the beginning of his show today: (paraphrased)

Why is it that those who are ready to give up our cause in Iraq aren't ready to give up the cause in the Palestinian fight against Israel?

The Israeli/Palestinian fight has been going on much longer, but no one on the left is ready to concede the battle to Israel. On the contrary...they want the Palestinians to be victorious over that pesky Israel. Likewise, in Iraq, the left doesn't want the U.S. to be victorious over the terroristic "insurgents." Curious, isn't it?
