Kerry's Retreat

One thing is clear about the modern Democrat. They hate George W. Bush much more than they love their traditions.

During last week's "Meet The Press" appearance, John Kerry made it quite clear that he would accept just about any form of "stable" government in Iraq. He wouldn't even rule out an Iranian-style theocracy.

The Wall Street Journal notes: "In historic terms, this is a remarkable reversal. Once upon a time Democrats were the great promoters of morality and idealism in foreign policy. During the Cold War, those Democrats included Harry Truman and John Kennedy, the latter most famously in the aspirations of his inauguration speech to "pay any price" and "bear any burden" in the cause of liberty."
