"We doubt all of this will help Democrats with the larger 
    electorate, which whatever its doubts about Iraq does not 
    want a precipitous surrender. Americans haven't trusted a 
    liberal Democrat with the White House during wartime since
    Vietnam, which is when the seeds of the current antiwar 
    rage were planted. The great mistake that leading Democrats
    and anti-Communist liberals made during Vietnam was not 
    speaking up against a left that was demanding retreat and 
    sneering at our war heroes. Will any Democrat speak up now?"
