Letters Count!

Dean National Alan Barbour (in Fresno, CA) deserves kudos for getting a Dean Defense letter into the November 3 issue of TIME!
Columnist Joe Klein in "A Rush to War--Now a Rush Out of One? stated that "in the heat of an election...one wonders whether the Democrats will resist the easy demogoguery of a Bring 'Em Home Now campaign" [In The Arena, Oct. 13]. Maybe Klein wonders, but if Howard Dean Becomes the Democratic Nominee, as I believe he will, we already know his position. He has stated unambiguously and repeatedly that since we are now engaged in Iraq, we have an obligation to stay until the country is on its feet. Klein can stop wondering or at least give equal time to speculation that the Bush Administration may adopt a cut-and-run policy in a desperate attempt to rescue the election.
With a circulation of 8 million plus, TIME's is a big one. I just thought it was a good example of the unselfish acts that got us where we are now and what will continue to keep our guy on top. Thanks Alan!

Am I missing something here?

Or: how I stopped worrying and learned to support the spread of democracy in the Middle East. Hello, Dean Nation! The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
