There would be a deep divide on the DU.

Many would scuttle in their attempt to blame the right-wing for every Democratic misdeed--a la Clinton. Don't believe me? Had Bush presided over the intervention in Yugoslavia, then many Democrats would have correctly decoded the true intentions of NATO. Replace Clark with someone like Franks, and he would be justifiably denounced as a war criminal. As it is, we still live under the delusion that the war was waged on humanitarian grounds.

Half of the community, however, would possess the intellectual and moral honesty to denounce any betrayal that a Democratic administration would send forth.

I want Bush out, but things are going to be rocky on the DU once Kerry is elected.
