Knee Jerk Syndrome

Dave Pell at electablog has a great take here about today's events.

"If your initial, gut response to today's London bombings was to rip the President for his Iraq policy or to rip the left for not understanding the continuing threat of terror - if your first knee jerk reaction was to squeeze today's tragic events into your own non-stop partisan rant, then you have a problem.

You need to slap yourself across the face and snap out of it. If that doesn't do the trick, consider asking someone else to do the slapping. I'm guessing that they'll be plenty of takers."

I couldn't have said it any better myself.
