Peter Beinart hits a home run
What a great article by Peter Beinart in today’s Washington Post. The Democrats would be well served to listen to him. Here’s the intro,
After years of struggling to define their own approach to post-Sept. 11 foreign policy, Democrats seem finally to have hit on one. It’s called pandering.
and the conclusion,
The Democratic Party’s single biggest foreign policy liability is not that Americans think Democrats are soft. It is that Americans think Democrats stand for nothing, that they have no principles beyond political expedience. And given the party’s behavior over the past several months, it is not hard to understand why.
Peter Beinart will be our guest on Pundit Review Radio next Sunday, August 6th at 7pm est. We will discuss not only this article, but his new book, The Good Fight: Why Liberals — and Only Liberals — Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again.

This is great news. Once people look at it the way Peter does, it will no longer be expedient to just disagree with Bush, right or wrong. Then we can get on with having politcal dicussions that actually help us as a country.
