How do you explain the Democratic party? What perverse spirit is at work making them so cross-eyed and dull witted? As David Horowitz and Peter Collier point out in their article, "The Party of Defeat and Retreat",
At the very moment that documents captured from the Zarqawi death site indicate that Al Qaeda feels it is losing its war against the Iraqi future and has become so desperate that its only hope to prevail is by embroiling the U.S. in war with Iran; at the very moment Iraq’s democratically elected government is establishing itself as a functioning regime, and its increasingly capable military becomes more successfully engaged against the insurgents —at this critical moment for the future of Iraq and the Middle East, more than three quarters of the House Democrats have voted against a resolution to “complete the mission.”
For the first time in American history, a major political party wants America to run from a war we are winning.
Strange indeed is such a mindset. Horowitz and Collier ruminate on the worldview of the American Left and provide a useful modern history lesson tracing the sad degeneration of the Democratic party from its former noble and responsible foreign policy to its present lamentable self-betrayal. The piece deserves a careful reading.
