. . .only occurs to the chicken littles on the Hill when they have convinced themselves that the sky will fall if they stand and fight for principle.

Their fears are usually baseless. But even when the risks are real, the moral and political risks, and the consequences to the nation of NOT fighting are always far more devastating.

It sucks to be on the wrong side of history -- as those who voted for the Authorization to Use Military Force are reminded daily. Tragically, our so-called Democratic leaders have been compelled to pick the wrong side over, and over, and over.

They need to be saved from themselves. We may be able to do it this time. Our numbers are growing.
