Shouldnt let being a bushophobe get in the way of bipartisan approaches to problems whether foreign or domestic. My feeling is that on sunday democrats split apart. I read the NYTimes letters to the editor and most liberals praised the elections. You folks need to separate either opposition to the war or opposition to the way bush handled the post war pacification effort from the attempt of brave Iraqis to carve a federal and democratic future. Unfortunatlely some of the leadership of the dem part adopted the Michael Moore position and that led to Kerrys horrific performance on Russert, and the pelosi, boxer, reid hysterics about withdrawing from iraq immmediately.
Chris Matthews in response to those dudes said "how could a democrat not be for democracy." I second that notion and support democrats looking for a progressive alternative to conservative bush and reactionary, nativist democrats.
Personally i was for the war, and critical of the pacification efforts. If i had it to do all over again either i would not have gone to war or been better prepared for the post war. Given where we are now, i am for disengagement and a timetables for departure so we are less the focus of the insurgency. With us on the way out, tribal leaders and true nationalists (no baathists or jihadis allowed) can cut appropriate deals with shiaa and kurds who i think will be most welcoming. MIke
