Mr. Neumayr's cogent article is exactly correct. I would add this to it. By constantly voicing the sentiment that the United States is wrong and ought to cut and run from Iraq and our other responsibilities, Democrats increase the fighting will of our enemies.

I have just finished a book by Vo Nguyen Giap. In it he said he was sure the war in Vietnam was lost until Ramsey Clark and Hanoi Jane Fonda came to Hanoi. Then he said he knew of the lack of courage of America's politicians and stepped up the killing on American soldiers without regard to his own casualties.

I was there and have always held those two people responsible for perhaps as many as 15,000 American soldiers' deaths.

p>Let us hope that these morally bankrupt, Democrat politicians will have more courage than did Ms. Fonda and Mr. Clark. Let us hope they will stand up, proudly, and say: "We don't care if hundreds of American soldiers die, winning in 2006 is more important to us." Because elections are the only business of Democrats. br> -- Jay W. Molyneaux br> Wellington, Florida /p>

Mr. Neumayr's analysis of the Democrats' position is, I believe, correct. But I think he is being too generous by saying their objective is a "tie." As I have listened to the socialist Democrats for the last month and more, I have become more and more convinced that only an American defeat, outright defeat, will satisfy them.

p>They and their MSM transcription service will do literally any and everything in their power, short of actually voting for defeat (good move, House Republicans), to achieve that. That includes creating an alternative universe constructed totally of lies, then using the tactic of The Big Lie, pushing it down the throats of the American public. When the history of this era is finally written, if it is in English and not Arabic it will be thanks to George W. Bush, not the socialist Democrats. br> -- John Jarrell br> San Antonio, Texas
