From the Christian Science Monitor:

As the Senate begins a debate this week on whether to oppose President Bush’s “new way forward” in Iraq, many lawmakers are balancing what they see as competing constitutional responsibilities – and stepped up pressure from voters long weary of a war that most Americans no longer think can be won.A first step is the debate over a non binding resolution to oppose the escalation of the war in Iraq. But should that vote succeed, Democrats expect to move next to curb defense funding.

You must remember that because of the Seniority system, the majority of Congressman and Senators in true positions of power now are from the 60’s generation. They remember the heady days when they were young, blooming flower children, protesting the war in Vietnam. Some of them were even in the House and Senate at the time.

And when the Democrat Party gained power in the early 70’s, the used it to quickly cut off funding to the South Vietnamese government, ensuring the triumph of the North Vietnamese, and through them, their overlords from the Soviet Union.

In the ensuing spasms of falling dominoes, more than 2 Million people died, and entire nations were devastated.

Not content with their past glory, the fellow travellers want one more sip from the well.

Of course, despite the best efforts of the Commissars of the Education Unions, many Americans can still read and, more importantly, think. Many can still remember the after effects of the last time the Democrat Party cut and ran.

“But Democrats also have this internal debate over just how far they can go. They are still afraid of being perceived by the American people as being antitroops or antipatriotic,” he adds. A strong showing from antiwar voters – expressed in e-mails, phone calls, or turnout at protests – “could provide an extra prod for Democrats to go that step further,” Mr. (pollster John) Zogby adds.

So they will tiptoe into this, with their eager supporters repeating the same winning strategy from the 60’s, holding protests, and gleaning as much coverage from the like minded media as they can, in an attempt to indoctrinate the supporters of the action in Iraq that they are in the minority, and should either opppose the war, or shut up.

But if the Democrat Party members in Washington think they can do this slow and stealthy, they are going to find the true moon-bat wing of their party forcing their hand.

“The president is irrelevant at this point. We are not going to change his mind. Thank goodness we have a Congress that is a co-equal branch of government,” says Tom Andrews, national director of Win Without War and a former Democratic representative from Maine.

“We’re going to use the Internet to make it absolutely clear who is doing what. Members of Congress need to know that we have their back when they’re attacked, and if they are against us, they will feel the heat.”

How many millions will die this time, due to the failure of the Democrat Party to recognize that Appeasement and Defeatism only emboldens totalitarians and religious extremists?

How can it be that the Party that enthusiastically slaughtered Christians in Waco, cannot recognize the same type of megalomania in Iran and other Muslim extremist leaders?
