(Cont. from Part 3) Card says that our Incomparable Leader should first have attacked "Syria, Iran, Sudan and Libya." He thinks our crusade to oust the brutal dictatorship of Saddam Hussein shouldn't have been undertaken yet. Yes, it's true: if Orson Scott Card - the science fiction writer who dares to question the judgment of President Bush the Strong of Hand and Mighty of Sword - if Card had had his way, the Butcher of Baghdad would still be in power today!
I don't know why he's doing this while our soldiers are in harm's way in Afghanistan and Iraq. Doesn't he realize that his could damage their morale to know that some obscure science-fiction writer in North Carolina is criticizing our inspired President? And saying that he made badly wrong decisions about the wars in which they are now fighting for their country?
Well, apparently Card seems to think his own efforts to undermine confidence in our national leadership by attacking the President's judgment and his priorities for protecting America from our vicious terrorist enemies and also by condemning the entire opposition party, too - that all his criticisms are good for the country. Because he says there are people out there, who he doesn't name specifically but that seem to include the entire Democratic Party (except him), that "try to paint the bleakest, most anti-American, and most anti-Bush picture of the war."
These people, whoever they are, are just "not patriotic," Card tells us. Now, you might think that if Card knows about people like this whose "program is to promote our defeat at the hands of our enemies," he would identify them for us so we could be on the lookout for them. But apparently, you would be wrong.
