"They still don't."

From Roger Simon:

Whatever one thinks about the neocons, they had virtually the only program, the only idea of how to right the world after 9/11. Conventional liberalism and conventional liberals had nothing to say. They still don’t. Maybe the neocons over-reached in their idealism, but they are looking a lot better lately.

That's the huge problem that I have with modern liberalism. We're almost seven years past 9/11 and they haven't offered a different path. Preemption sucks? Ok, what else do you have?
