We really could use the help of the French, Germans and Russians. But they seem more interested in selling weapons for cash to the enemies of the United States, such as Saddam.
Why should we help you shoot yourselves in the foot more badly than you already have? That's not what friends are for.

If you meant "hard core" as in moderate/center left, I doubt they would.

But yeah -- extreme lefties will jump up and down and scream conspiracy no matter what the Bush administration accomplishes.



We moderate liberals are not crazy -- that's all just an act.
