I don't see much chance of it mattering if the Dems do "wake up". Rebuilding Iraq falls under national security/foreign policy, and the Dems aren't even in that contest right now. You might wish to wander over to Bill's thread to more comfortably debate the political pros and cons of this. FL is a bit jittery about such debates here. My own opinion is that the Dems need to neutralize, or get close to that, the Reps advantage on national security issues, then the domestic issues flow there way. The Reps failure to allocate serious money for homeland security is their most vulnerable issue on the security front; the follow up to the Iraq invasion is their second most. But it's still too early to talk about much more than hints.
