[QUOTE="sendagain, post: 74353, member: 1695"] [b]back to subject at hand[/b] The weakness of the democratic position is to continually criticize the war, the administration and the president in particular, with no evidence of any workable plan on their own part. Their plan only seems to be, "Your plan has failed." What this mindset does to encourage the enemies of democracy is reason enough to criticize it; all your efforts are directed against your own team.

This action would only make the other team play with greater energy, realizing victory must be in their grasp. What is happening in Iraq is proof enough that there really is an enemy who plans to murder en masse, totally immune to any moral conscience that holds societies in any cohesive peace. They plan to exterminate anyone who disagrees with the most violent and oppressive tenents of Islam. How people think that withdrawing from engagement with this kind of foe will somehow make the world more peaceful is beyond me.
