Confronting the Truth vs. Pretending lies are true.

A Wall Street Journal (subscription only) reporting that Serbians are being shown the true nature of the atrocities done in their names in Bosnia. The current democratic leadership deserves credit for its courage.

Meanwhile, back here at home, Congressman John Conyers held a mock impeachment of President Bush yesterday in which the claim was made prominently that we went to war in Iraq because it was a threat to Israel, along with an allegation "that an Israeli company had warning of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and that there was an 'insider trading scam' on 9/11--[a charge] that previously has been used to suggest Israel was behind the attacks.

James Taranto notes:

There's been a spate of stories lately about President Bush's poor poll numbers--the importance of which is a mystery to us, given that the next presidential election is almost 3 1/2 years away, and Bush won't be a candidate in any case. At the same time, the Angry Left seems to be getting less inhibited: witness Howard Dean's various bouts of logorrhea, Charlie Rangel's and Dick Durbin's outrageous Americans-are-Nazis claims, and now this.

We suspect there's a connection here: The liberal media are persuading liberal pols that President Bush is in trouble with the public. The pols therefore conclude that the public is on their side, and this emboldens them to . . . well, in our opinion, to behave like total jackasses.

Indeed.
