Done With Mirrors turns the tables on the anti-war left’s rhetorical “stick in the spokes.” (Hat tip: NC.)

So let’s keep playing chickenhawk; let’s apply it to another situation. “Don’t advocate government actions that will involve sacrifice unless you’re also putting yourself directly in the place of those who may be asked to sacrifice.”

Don’t call for more government action to help the poor people stranded in New Orleans unless you drove down there as soon as you heard the news and personally waded through the sewage and took some of them out of the Superdome and into your home. (Not impossible, some college kids did it).

Don’t call for better canal walls and levees in New Orleans unless you are willing to take two years and go down there personally and build them.

Don’t call for a more aggressive FEMA unless you’ve put in a job application there. Don’t call for a quicker and more effective use of U.S. military resources in the disaster zone unless you’ve spent the last two years encouraging healthy young men and women to enlist, and supporting the Defense Department budget.

Looks stupid to me, too, but put up or shut up, chickenbeaver! Hey, your game, not mine.
