Much like the ostrich of myth, Democrats are hiding their heads in the sand. They are ignoring the real threat that Iran and the Islamic terror groups represent to America’s national security. They scoff at President Bush when he says “we must defeat them over there” and not let them follow us back home. They call for immediate phased pullout of our troops. Daily, Islam’s imams, mullahs, ayatollahs and government leaders call for death to America. Yet, somehow the Democrats do not take them seriously.
The Democrats do not view them as a real threat but rather something that can be dealt with at the negotiation table. Time and again, the Islamists have said that they will sign treaties, however, they will only honor the treaties as long as it suits their purpose. We have witnessed that very thing several times, yet the Democrats continue to believe that something like a Marshall Plan that we implemented in Europe after the war can be accomplished with them without a war. MoveOn.org even suggests that if we do that, it would give the people of Muslim nations a 'new vision ' and then they would not tolerate the terrorists in their midst. In my mind, that kind of thinking is very, very dangerous should the Democrats regain power.
Democrats do not do well in war, usually one of their first actions when they are in power is to seriously diminish the capability of our military forces. Kennedy’s Bay of Pigs, Johnson and McNamara’s botching of Vietnam, Carter’s disastrous attempt to rescue hostages and Clinton’s ‘let the UN handle it’ approach failed miserably. God forbid that they would have to deal with the Islamic threat.
