I think however there are ideological ties to folks like Mao and Castro (that being the Left's lingering ties to Communism). Understanding the ties to some questionable Islamic groups is a little bit harder for me to understand. I suppose you could connect it to the misguided Palestinian movement on college campuses (ahem). Or, frankly, you could simply associate it with President Bush. If 9/11 had happened under Al Gore's watch, we still probably would've invaded Afghanistan. We would still probably be killing muslims. Would the Left care as much?
