| Macho men for a peaceful tomorrow |
Newsweek has the scoop on the new macho men of the Democratic Party: war veterans. Interesting that the Dems have always seemed to have more of them -- especially combat veterans who know what war is like up close -- logically, that's why Dems are more dovish, while Republicans, who are more into planning and launching, rather than fighting or having their kids fight, wars, are more gung-ho.
And did you know? Country singer Merle Haggard joins the "John Wayne" Murtha gang on Iraq.
Forget Cindy Sheehan. She made her impact in the beginning, but the central question of the war has shifted away from whether or not it should be "stopped." We are getting out of Iraq, neocons be damned. It's just a matter of how, and how quickly. History seems to have already passed judgment on the Bush team's dishonest selling of the war, no matter how hard Fox News and others try to rewrite it in real time. The Bushies want out just as much as Ms. Sheehan does. They just want out in a way that will salvage what's left of Mr. Bush's presidency.
