Simply put this is the best most concise and ultimately brilliant explanation of Anti War derangement syndrome that I have read. Hat Tip Hugh Hewitt’s blog Dean Barnett

What links all these conspiracy theories? The unshakable belief that there is no enemy except the US Government (except, perhaps, for the Mossad), and that heroism, patriotism, and a physical defense of one’s country and one’s very own life is a doomed venture hardly worth the candle.
Admitting there is an external, implacable, and deadly threat to us strongly implies we need to fight it.
But they’ve decided a priori that fighting is never the correct response.
Ergo, somewhere the syllogism must be flawed. They focus their attention on the premise– that there is in fact a deadly external threat. That must be demonstrated as incorrect if their preferred conclusion — pacifism at any price — is to remain viable.
In their own minds they’ve rebulit the Towers so they were never destroyed that day, but they now stand on a foundation of magical thinking and a childish retreat into dreamworlds and fantasies.
