From a liberal G-File reader:

As a liberal who was decidedly ambivalent about the war (I loved the idea of taking out Hussein and the Baathist, but thought Bush’s unilateralist track record leading up to the conflict put us in a weak position to rally an effectively ass-covering coalition) I have to admit that your critique about the Dem’s stand on reconstruction is right on. What choice do we have, strategically or morally? It’s so depressing that they’re playing politics with this, even if many Republicans played similar games with Bosnia/Kosovo, which I believe had much more strategic importance than Haiti (though I supported that action too).
