I don't know if this is a precipice from which there is any return for the party of Pelosi and Reid. These are turncoats in the truest form of the word. These are people who are secretly and, now, not so secretly praying for, hoping for and acting in the best interests of victory for Osama bin Laden and his cohorts who would chop off their heads just as fast as they would chop off yours and mine.
Imagine political power meaning so much to you that you would sell out your own country perhaps even the very lives of your children and grandchildren to retain it, consolidate it, expand it.
That's what it is all about with the party of Pelosi and Reid. It's not about ideology. It's not that they like al-Qaida or Islamo-fascism. But they do have enough disrespect for their nation that they would tolerate even welcome more death, more carnage, more crisis, more Sept. 11s.
I fear for our nation's future.

Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad.
Farah nailed it, good post.
These Democrats today are the children of the Dr. Spock 1960’s. The World was them, only them, and still is.
Nixon worked with what he inherited from LBJ. With his campaigns into NVA sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia and the strategic bombing campaigns on Hanoi and Haiphong, Nixon waged a more intense, precise war. He also insinuated through diplomatic back channels that he could be forced to use nuclear weapons on North Vietnam. The North finally came to the peace table and stayed until an agreement was signed. After the bulk of US forces were withdrawn the South Vietnamese Army was able to beat back two major, bloody offensives from the North. Then Watergate removed Nixon and Congress cut off all funding and military assistance to RVN. The rest is sad history.
A student of popular history and the MSM would call Nixon a "corrupt megalomaniac." The real history is more complex:

Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006
Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews
A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia.
The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us,

And there is this:
Terrorists in Their Own Words -(A compilation drawn from translations ......)
**************************Intro******************************
Islamist terrorists have long been at war with the United States and frequently have proclaimed their determination to win the war. In fact, they see their enemies' unwillingness to acknowledge this war as an act of cowardice. If their enemies refuse to wear the mantle of warrior, terrorists assume that they are weak, lacking in honor, and spiritually inferiorand the notion that their enemy is vulnerable emboldens them. Failing to acknowledge that we are at war only encourages the enemy to be more warlike.
Conclusive proof that terrorists are at war with us requires little more than reading their own words. A compilation drawn from translations of a number of authoritative sources illustrates the nature of the challenge that America and its allies face and what needs to be done to combat it.
fyi
Imagine political power meaning so much to you that you would sell out your own country â perhaps even the very lives of your children and grandchildren â to retain it, consolidate it, expand it.No need to imagine -- the Dhimmicrats are the Party of Treason.
There is an answer to this problem but it would unfortunately require more nerve than exists presently at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue:
Direct Attorney General Alberto VO5 to place the entire Democrat leadership under arrest for subverting the war effort, giving aid and comfort to our enemies, to encouraging the fifth column within our borders, and misappropriation of defense funding (can we say $150 million bucks to Yellow-Stain Murtha folks?).
And after placing said subversives under arrest, wait for the first squawks out of the New York Slimes and their America-hating brethren, and lock up those al Qaeda sympathizers too.
Send them all to Gitmo for the duration of the War.
Well, it was a nice thought anyway.
Nixon had no more intention of winning that war than LBJ did.
