“The issue is going to be discussed in the fall,” this <Republican> official said. “Are you saying if the Democrats talk about the war, we shouldn’t? We will talk about the war, and we will talk about the consequences of the policies advocated by the Democrats.”

Reminder to Dems: Be sure to talk about the visible consequences of GOP policies:




* 30,000+ civilian casualties of non-9/11-related war in Iraq

* Nearly 3,000 casualties, 10,000+ physical injuries and uncounted tens of thousands of psychological injuries to US military personnel

* Terrorist beachheads in anarchic Iraq and Afghanistan

* Dissolution of the Israeli/Palestinian peace process, leading to a weakening of democracy in Lebanon and a strengthening of Hezbollah's hand

* At least one major terrorist attack in a major European or Asian city each year since 9/11

* Gutting of constitutional separation of powers to give absolute authority to a moron in chief

* Illegal spying on American citizens

* Legitimation of torture as military tactic

* Loss of respect for American power and influence throughout the world.

I could go on--and Democrats should.

1. Unfortunately, most Americans just turn a blind eye to the...

death and destruction visited upon other countries and innocent people in their name. In fact, they will get angry if you try to remind them about it.

"Those ragheads deserve it, they're all trying to kill us and the American way of like and they hate our freedoms!"

2. I doubt "most Americans" are okay with death and destruction

in other countries, though surely a large number are, and a larger number tries not to see it or think about it.

Don't make the mistake the Bushists make, conflating their base with "most Americans."
