Taranto has an interesting comment today, comparing the Democrat's handling of Iran-contra vs. the current WMD issue: The Democrats might have been able to make some hay of Iran-contra if they'd resisted their pro-Sandinista urges and instead emphasized the Reagan administration's dealing with the ayatollahs. The Iranian regime was (and remains) an avowed enemy of America, and in 1986-88 memories were still fresh of the Jimmy Carter hostage humiliation. For normal Americans, going soft on Iran was a much worse sin than helping the anticommunist side in a war in far-off Central America. Democrats seem to be just as out of touch today. Rather than celebrate the overthrow of a tyrant and enemy of America, they are trying to discredit it by retrospectively niggling over the nuances of the argument for war. It's as if they were defense lawyers arguing an appeal on behalf of Saddam, trying to get him off on a technicality. www.opinionjournal.com
