Another Reason To Be Proud Of Joe Leiberman
Dean
I've never for one second regretted working to help re-elect Joe Lieberman, one of the great statesmen of our era. But he's just given me another reason to be proud:
I've just spent 10 days traveling in the Middle East and speaking to leaders there, all of which has made one thing clearer to me than ever: While we are naturally focused on Iraq, a larger war is emerging. On one side are extremists and terrorists led and sponsored by Iran, on the other moderates and democrats supported by the United States. Iraq is the most deadly battlefield on which that conflict is being fought. How we end the struggle there will affect not only the region but the worldwide war against the extremists who attacked us on Sept. 11, 2001.
Read the rest here from the Washington Post.
Also, remember all those people who claimed he'd become a Republican? Yeah, I do too. I hope they're all more than a little embarrassed.
(Thanks, Martin.)

Now that statement really got to me!
I know we must win this war and I am on board with it. I was wavering due to negative things being said. It's a cival war, and on and on. Inside I have tried to hang on. I hang on due to our troops. I personally must admit that I have read blogs and other things like listening to the radio talking about a cival war. Then I think about the troops and know I must support them.
I've always supported the troops. They deserve our full support and we must let them know.
Joe Liberman, I thank you. What a great article.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
