(Maybe someone else here has already commented on this; apologies if so.) I was amazed to see John Kerry say that he thought that Bush had “exaggerated” the threat of terrorism. Edwards slammed him for it. It seems to me that if they nominate a person who is willing to say this, the Democrats are living dangerously. Dean, meanwhile, said that “in some ways” the terrorists “have already won” because of the Patriot Act. Edwards and Lieberman notwithstanding, it looks as though a Democratic win in the presidential race in November means the end of the war on terror–or at least our side of it.
