I Quite agree.

I gave up on the left after 9/11. I've never been leftist really, I wanted to make lots of money and still intend to, I believe the Western Way of Life (initials intended) is far better than anything communism (and as I found out later, socialism in general) can offer. But I couldn't bring myself to identify with 'the right'. it didn't feel 'right' - conflict with my upbringing I guess.

But I honestly thought H-bombs were going to start falling after the attacks. To the everlasting credit of the United States, that did not happen (compare and contrast with an attack on Moscow or Beijing)

I expected a rational response from the intelligentsia (almost exclusively leftist), something that said "Ok, we have a major problem here, and one option we know is going to work is nuclear annihilation for the people that did this - we don't want that, so let's look at alternatives". What alternatives were presented by the left? "Why do they hate us?", "Let's all get along", "It's our fault". Hmmm.

My mind was made up. I know Bush didn't want to classify this as a war of civilisations, but it is, so I now know a lot more about Hayek, Adam Smith, Libertarianism, Capitalism and much much more. I find I agree with most of it. I never really had political leanings, but now I seek out examples of leftist and socialist thinking, question it and seek to invalidate and destroy its message (before 9/11, Pilger was always the guy who talked about Vietnam, now I know he's a bloody liar. I had a standup row with a friend of 15 years about what a pathetic object Fisk is - I would never have done this prior to 9/11 and I lay the inspiration? for this solely at the feet of the left and the totally vile response it had to the attacks). How many others are there like me? I'd hazard there's a fair few. I have a fire lit in my belly now, and I thank the left for it.

Trouble is, I want to destroy it.

100 million dead in the 20th century, how many in the 21st? Can the world cope with another century of The Left?

Welcome Tony!

I find one of the best ways of arming myself for debates with my lefty friends and aquaitances is to check out www.samizdata.net

Way ahead of you Pete - Samizdata has been in my bookmarks for a loong time.

I wonder how many other people there are like me, who were initially policially agnostic, but who have now looked around, blinked and said "whoa!, *that's* not right!". The Blair government has certainly helped in that regard...

Cohen has impressed me over recent years - he has been Chris Hitchens-like in his rage at his fellow leftists' self-loathing relativism.
