Well then Edwards should have acknowledged that, rather than making Bush sound like an ambulance chaser (maybe a little bit of projection going on there).
In my experience, liberals like to blur the line between perpetrator and victim, making violent acts into "tragedies" for both parties. Or if they do seek to assign guilt, it will be based more on extraneous factors, like the race and/or gender of the parties involved.
Any extremist credits tradgedies on extraneous factors. Michael Moore does it. Jerry Falwell does it. Bush didn't put any real focus into terrorism before 9/11, and pretends to be a hero on the issue of terrorism.
Will Michael Moore's movie Fahreinheit 9/11, concerning how Bush has used Sept. 11 to achieve his political goals, cause a backlash for his cause, or will it enlarge the democratic base? I think it will backfire. America couldn't take Howard Dean's statement, it still believes Saddam Hussein was involved with Sept. 11. Society is not capable of determining the truth.
