I’m feeling a little better about Bush’s plan now. Syria and Iran have denounced it. A lot of these statements sound like the current Democrat talking points, in fact. Of course, many of its domestic critics will probably think that this buttresses their own criticisms.
If my opinions about the war were the same as the enemy’s (or at least those stated by the enemy), I’d rethink them. But I guess the problem is that they don’t think that Tehran or Damascus are the enemy. For them, the enemy lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
