I have spent the last three hours processing and scanning about 6 hours of video form the 2-12 Berkeley City Council Meeting.

I’m exhausted.  Mentally, ideologically and physically.

Tomorrow morning I will post the videos of the Council speaking as to the resolution and whether an apology is owed or not.

But tonight, I have a couple observations to make.  I noticed two themes on the liberal side of this issue as I was listening.

The first was the concept that the war is Immoral and Illegal.  Speaking to its legality, the obvious answer is that since Congress voted to authorize the war, it is legal.

The less obvious answer seems to be aligned with the concept of immoral.  You see the liberals do not see it illegal under our laws, but under the laws of the world and the laws of humanity.  They see war as immoral in all circumstances, so saying this war is immoral is an obvious no brainer.  Going further, they invoke the laws of peace and humanity, and they cannot concede that any war, any act of national hostility is justified.  They see the laws of humanity as overriding all aspects of justification, necessity or imminent threat.

The second observation I made was listening to Council Member Anderson invoke Nuremberg.  In his mind the troops are breaking the laws of humanity and therefore they are not justified in obeying orders, and are committing war crimes.  They are criminals unless they stop.

So in summary, while he did not say so directly, Council Member Anderson seems to consider our troops to be akin to Nazis who committed atrocities in World War 2. 

I don’t know what to say.  No wonder he sees no reason to apologize.

This is the world Liberals live in.

The only clip I am posting tonight in this blog is that of Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee.

More tomorrow.
