I agree with your assessment that Democrats are trapped in the mindset of "hell no we won't go."

And for Democrats to compare fighting fanatical terrorists that killed on our soil to Viet Nam is delusional.

We all hate war. The problem with Democratic leadership is that they refuse to fight when left with no alternative. Instead, they choose to ignore the threat with the hope it goes away.

In your article you said that Democratic leaders ignored the comments of top military officials and those with boots on the ground. Are you surprised?

After all, as John Kerry said, the military is comprised of uneducated numbskulls.

Losing in Iraq will go a long way toward losing the global war on terror. If the Democratic leadership convinces the majority that fighting terrorism is wrong then we are certainly doomed.

George Bush is acting in bad faith with the American people, therefore the inverse of whatever his policy happens to be is probably the proper course of action. I have long ago quit trying to make sense out of their positions and this is the only one that works for me consistently. br> -- J. Brick
