Dems Duck Defense DilemmaYou can't beat something with nothing: The audience was supposed to be a gracious one. The Democrats have a problem. Half of their "agenda" is based on paranoia -- "Bush knew," "Dick Cheney is reading my emails" -- and the other half is based on partisanship. It hardly needs saying that the Democrats would support President John Kerry's warrantless intercept program. The other other half of the problem is a deep split in the party. A minority want to win the war on terror, and the entire party needs to send that message to convince Security Moms to vote for them; but the majority believes that war is itself a failure, and should be abandoned immediately or as soon as practicable. And then we will fight bin Ladin with bike paths. None of these problems are soluble. This is not a split that can be finessed or fudged, and so the only "plan" they have is to continue carping against Bush. Democrats deride difference-drawing with them as a "campaign of fear." With a sneer. But that merely serves to show how unserious they are on this issue. This "fear" is not fictitious. There are maniacs who wish to murder us, and destroy one or three of our cities with nuclear weapons if they should happen to get their hands on them. Many blithely dismiss this possibility because it's so unthinkable -- it's so horrible a thought it barely registers. And thus the "fictitious threat" rhetoric. But it's a real threat, and as much such devastation strains the imagination, serious men are compelled to imagine it and plan against it. Until the Democrats can imagine the world as a dangerous place in which military solutins are, sometimes and sadly, the only solution, they will continue losing elections.
