Another thing that irritates me is leftist documentaries.
"OH NO MR BUSHITLERZ IS GUNNA TAK OVA TEH WORLD ALONG WITH TEH EVIL CAPPYTALIST NAZIS! LOLZ ISRAEL IS EVIL LOLZ!".
Sure, Bush, Israel, and capitalism aren't perfect, but they're saints compared to the alternative of global Islamic caliphate. It's like complaining about Britain's rationing during World War II, when there are a bunch of Nazis knocking on your door. In this case though, few people even in Bush's circle acknowledge the threat, preferring to call it a "War On Terror". As Dan Simmons put it, declaring a war on terror would be like Eisenhower declaring a war on avionics after Pearl Harbour. Calling it a war on terrorists doesn't cut it either, because it's a specific religion/ideology we're facing, not just terrorism in general.
