From Arthur Silber
The Democrats don’t object and they completely fail to mount serious opposition to our inevitable course toward widening war and an attack on Iran, not because they are cowards, not because they’re afraid of being portrayed as “weak” in the fight against terrorism, and not because of any of the other excuses that are regularly offered by their defenders. They don’t object because — they don’t object. That is: they agree — they agree that the United States is the “indispensable” nation, that we have the “right” to tell every other country how it is “permitted” to act, that we must pursue a policy of aggressive interventionism supported by an empire of military bases. They agree about all of it; moreover, in most critical respects, they devised these policies in the first instance, and they implemented and defended them more vigorously and more consistently than Republicans, with the exception of the criminal now residing in the White House.
They agree. Try to wrap your head around it. Try to absorb the indisputable fact, which has been proven over and over and over again in the last century, and particularly in the last 60 years.

Ready for war? *ahem* Again?
