David Hogberg says: “The Iraq War is one that is still very much worth fighting.”

p>Okay David…then why aren’t you over there fighting it? Or arguing for an increase in taxes to pay for it? Or for reinstating the draft so that we can have enough troops to get the job done? I do not know of a single Democrat arguing the case for “surrender.” I know of a lot of Democrats, Independents, and an increasing number of Republicans who are saying that we are in a hopeless, internal conflict between Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis, one that is likely to continue for many years. br> — Dean Apostol br> Damascus, Oregon /p>

Before fretting that the majority of Americans are ready to embrace Ned Lamont and the real John Kerry lets remember the drive-by media was telling us in 1972, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2002 and 2004 the Democrats were going to sweep into power and “save America from the real enemy — Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Bush [41 & 43] and Republicans.” They were wrong.Â
