Because I am appalled that the bulk of the liberal/left who control much of our media choose to side with Islamo-fascism rather than the democrats who are trying to rebuild Iraq. They even dare to call those working for democracy in Iraq "traitors" and "quislings". Such ideas dominate the letters pages of many newspapers and are now practically mainstream, often
going unchallenged. I rarely meet anyone who agrees with me. But challenged they must be, otherwise we are betraying the decent people of the Muslim world. How sickened, and baffled, they must be if they are aware of the effective support of so much, allegedly left-wing, Western opinion for the loathsome, head-lopping Islamo-fascists.

The word fascist does actually mean something and it is not western politicians whom you don't like. The Baathists, the Taleban, Al Qaeda and their like fit the bill.

I don't really know what it means to be "left-wing" anymore, but being against fascism seems pretty basic to me.
