I disagree. The Democrats aren't in the least bit anti-war. The only thing they're concerned about is, "How can we get the White House back?"
The day 9/11 happened, the first thing they surely said to themselves is, "Wow!! Look at that! Do you suppose we can use this somehow to get the White House back?"
When Dubya sent our troops to Afghanistan and then later to Iraq, they said to themselves, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Surely these will become Quagmires! Bush will be out and we'll control the White House again! Maybe evem Congress!"
When Fallujah and the al-Sadr strongholds blew up recently, you just know for a fact that the Democrats privately exulted, "Yes! American deaths by the handful! By the dozens! By the scores! (Maybe soon by the thousands?? Oh please! Oh please!) Young Americans dying by the boatload. Hey - over here! Point the camera at me. I'm about to shed my best Crocodile Tears over these meaningless deaths caused by The Insane Cowboy in the White House - the very same White House that is our birthright and that he stole from us."
And, if, in the week before the November election, al Qaeda manages to nuke a major US city, the Democrats will fall on their knees in prayer and say, "Yes! There really IS a God! Thank you thank you thank you, God! How could we have ever doubted your existence? Now it is guaranteed for 100% certain that George W. Bush is Toast --- just as much as that poor city is!"
BOTTOM LINE: Democrats are no more anti war than the rest of us. Rather, they see War just the same as any other issue that involves our national survival. They ask themselves how they can demagogue the issue in order to politically profit from it, even at the expense of our country's safety. They are not into politics for the sake of our country. They are into politics for the sake of themselves only.
