We will not be able to continue this discussion, as you are determined to say only that your guys are good and mine are bad. Huh? I should have thought it was self-evident that the Democraats do not rate the WOT as the top issue facing America. They don't have platform to deal with it. All the rational arguments over it (ignoring the "it's all about oooooiiiiiillll" jibes from the Moveon.org crowd) have been between the realists and the neocons, who are usually both Republicans. If it's the top Democratic issue, then what is the Democratic program?

We will not be able to continue this discussion, as you are determined to say only that your guys are good and mine are bad. One of the things I observe in these discussions is people reading "good" and "bad" into analysis or simple observations. It seems to me to be an objective observation that Republicans are united by the WOT and that Democrats are not persuaded that the terrorist threat is the be all and end all of our times. Speaking as somone who thinks that the terrorist threat has been grossly exaggerated as a priority, I don't find partisan put-down in Nadine's observation. I thought your colloquy up until now was analytical and thoughtful.
