Buchanan's commentary.
The current problem with the Democrats, in my opinion, is that too many of them are too cowardly to make a stand one way or another. They criticize Bush for the war, but too few of them are willing to make a specific stance as to what our policy should be, or else their policy is essentially Bush's with a few paeans to the UN thrown in there. And too many of them were eager to go to war when it actually came to a vote back in 2003.
That is part of why Kerry lost; he had no real paltform distinguished from Bush's that one could vote for; anti-war types couldn't really get excited over him because he really didn't have an anti-war policy. There was nothing there.
Would a stronger anti-war stance benefit Dems? I doubt it could hurt.
That is all.
