Personal response to previous article

While I strongly agree with the anti-war movement, I don't believe that getting the troops out of Iraq is the only issue that dems should address.

1)Unity
We had a chance to unite the world around America's cause after 9/11. Instead of doing this we have pushed the world away and made it appear as though America is a bully. We all knew that during the first gulf war that Saddam couldn't even project conventional warfare on his neighbors much less America. Don't feed me that bullshit line that if we fight them there, they won't come here.

2)Civil Liberties
There has never been such open surveillance on the home front and we're just allowing it to happen. Recently Israelis took to the streets to protest the mismanagement of the month long conflict with Lebanon. There should be millions in the streets of America protesting the illegal actions of the Bush administration.

3)Foreign Policy as a whole
Since when did getting to know your enemy become a reward to the enemy. Basic strategy tells you that you should have open dialogue with your enemy so that you know what they are up to. Common sense is not a reward...

The democrats can capitalize on the next election by using the common sense that was not so common in the Bush years.
