I have a new piece today about last night’s Democratic debate. In that debate, moderator Brian Williams of NBC News asked: “If, God forbid, a thousand times, while we were gathered here tonight, we learned that two American cities had been hit simultaneously by terrorists, and we further learned beyond the shadow of a doubt it had been the work of al Qaeda, how would you change the U.S. military stance overseas as a result?” Two of the three frontrunners in the Democratic race couldn’t bring themselves to mention any military action at all.
