Smokin' Joe

In a Wall Street Journal article, Sen. Joe Lieberman says some things about the Democratic Party that seriously need to be said. It has become defeatist, and sees the United States as the main threat to world peace.

To be sure, he is too quick to defend Bill Clinton as a New Democrat. Clinton allowed provocations like the bombing of the USS Cole to go essentially unchallenged.

Even so, Lieberman understands that there are real enemies out there, folks who wish us dead. He is the only Democrat on the national stage today who has any courage vis-a-vis our enemies. I wonder if he could be convinced to become a Republican?
