Splitting news

Looks like the democratic left in America is splintering again.

It used to be what divided American liberals was their stance on the war in Iraq. They were either hawks or doves.

Now it seems you can divide the left according to their response to the deaths of Uday and Qusay Hussein.

A couple of days ago Joe Katzman at Winds of Change put the word out for liberal bloggers who were pleased with news of the deaths. Today he publishes a link-filled list of the good guys.

But, as Michael Totten points out, some on the left have sneered at the news.

Well I wouldn’t call it gloating but I’m pretty pleased they’re dead.
