Democrats, left-leaning bleeding-heart peacenik democrats, who would rather genuflect at the altar of peace at all cost, then ecer succumb to the occasional necesssity of self-defense are severely damaging the ability of the party to win elections.

Look no one here is trying to justify or glory in war. War isneithe fun, glorious or inevitable, but the strain of commentary in this particular discussion would suggest a pacisfism bordering on a lunacy.

War is hell. But sometimes you must intervene for the greater good. Sometime when you get kicked in the balls you have to fight back. Not for ths sake of winning not even for personal honor,,, but because someone has to stop a bully.

To suggest even for a moment that it would have been better to withdraw from the Pacific or sit down and chat with the Japanese is foolishness.

I suppose that we never should have stared the lend lease program with the UK? I suppose we should have sat on our hands as the six million were gassed. I supposed we should have allowed slavery to continue?

I have a suggestion for those who choose to stick their head in the sand why don't you go green or join Pat Buchanan's call for Isolationism. But get the Hell out of this party! You do not understand that your visionary crap only serves to keep the neo-cons in power.
