I for one am shocked, shocked that anti-war sentiment is dependent upon partisan identification

Megan McArdle states the obvious.  Commitment to 'principle' only when the 'principle' supports your political agenda and power interest is a key indicator of fascism.  Hattip instapundit.

MEGAN MCARDLE: “Have you noticed all the huge antiwar demonstrations in the last twelve months? Yeah, me neither. It turns out that a lot of the energy for the movement seems to have been provided by Democrats who are a lot less worried about wars conducted by Democratic presidents. Or at least who believe that advancing the Democratic agenda is much more important than trying to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is by no means the whole movement–but it was enough that once a Democrat took office, both the numbers at the demonstrations, and the organizational capacity of the movement as a whole, dwindled away to near-nothingness.”
