It appears that you are having reading comprehension issues. As I have bolded above, the author states:
"Above all else, I was shocked by the left's response to 9/11. I was so naive as to think that the left I had grown up with hated fascism, especially religious fascism, and would be the first to join a war against it.
Instead they have emerged as the war's opponents, often with open sympathy for the fascists.

The author makes it crystal clear that opposition to the Iraq war was her primary motivation "Above all else ... " she was shocked by what she saw as the Left's response to 9/11. She was of the view that the left should have been "the first to join a war against it (religious fascism)" rather than oppose Bush's disastrous invasion of Iraq.

Sorry but the left's principled and with the benefit of hindsight, absolutely justified and correct opposition to the invasion of Iraq was her primary motivation, as she makes absolutely clear to anyone reading her words with an unjaundiced eye.

Her secondary motivation - "Secondly, I was impressed by the neo-conservative right's analysis of the problem - is just as indefensible as the first. The neo-con analysis has been abandoned by many who advanced it after 9/11 - having seen the appalling consequences of acting on the basis of that analysis - and is now considered totally discredited by just about everyone except hard and looney right wingers.

As this disastrous military adventure was her primary motivation, then she should be revising her views in the light of subsequent experience proving her reading of the situation to be completely wrong.

That's amazing...that you know this woman's motivations for leaving the left better than she does. It must be your unjaundiced...cough...eye that allows you to look inside her words that allows you to see that it wasn't the left's embracing of the Islamists who were responsible for 9/11 that reviled her, it was a different thing altogether: the left's opposition (morally right, in their view) to Bush's war.

Thank GOD for your unjaundiced...cough...eye.

God you are a moron.

I have neither misinterpreted her words not do I claim to read her mind. As my previous post makes abundantly clear, all I have done is take her own words at face value.

If you are incapable of reading everyday English and interpreting it in the manner that the author intended, as your posts strongly indicate you are, then paying any further attention to your moronic comments will be a complete waste of time. Find someone else to participate in your cretinous word games.
