Democrats at war with themselves over Iraq war
Since the late 1960s, the base of the Democratic Party has been anti-war and opposed to the use of force to deal with threats to the peace and security of the United States. It is the party that has opted for appeasement instead of confrontation. Had foreign policy been left to Democrats, the Soviet Union might still enslave millions. They were voting for a nuclear freeze while Ronald Reagan precipitated the regime's collapse by forcing it to spend itself into oblivion in an arms race.
If Democrats like John Kerry had his way in 1991, Kuwait would have fallen under Saddam Hussein's bloody domination without challenge. The weapons of mass destruction programs he had at the time would not have been disrupted or destroyed and he would have been emboldened to wreak more havoc in the volatile region.
But the Washington Post has suddenly "discovered" that the Democratic Party is torn between an increasingly vocal radical left wing and it's few remaining centrists that want to win national elections. For observers like me, this is not news, since we have been tracking these hard-core elements since September 11, 2001. From the moment the liberal activist group, MoveOn.org called for restraint in the face of 3,000 murdered Americans, it was clear that Democrats still had the instinct to shrink from a fight, to cut and run at the first sign of trouble. Karl Rove was spot on when he said that after 9/11, conservatives prepared for war and liberals searched for understanding.
The phenomenon that the Washington Post has only recently recognized is not a policy debate within a political party, but a manifestation of cowardice and a betrayal of the vision, strength and courage of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John Kennedy. This truth is revealed by the fact that those opposed to the war in Iraq offer no plan - nor desire - to win it. In fact, they hope that we lose and seem to delight in every soldier's death and bit of bad news that comes from the war front.
The activists and their media cheerleaders openly talk about a "tipping point" of public sentiment against the war. They have done everything they can to bring it about - not because of an ideological principle - but for the hope of regaining political power. What they fail to realize is that the "tipping point" on them having political power came shortly after the Twin Towers fell.
The sickening scenes that are playing out in Crawford, Texas and mimicked around the country will not further the liberals' cause. It will only serve as a reminder to Americans why it is they don't trust them with the defense and security of the United States.
