Thank you Jonathan Rauch for this great post. This may be a peacetime election for Obama and the Democratic Party, but it is not for al Qaeda.
Rauch has some important questions for Obama. Let’s hope McCain forces him to answer them, the Old Media won’t.
I concur. Rauch raises some very important questions here. Sen. Obama and the Democratic Party simply do not believe that the United States is at war. Statements from Sens. Reid and Obama–and Speaker Pelosi–have made this painfully clear. Still, the threat of radical terrorism persists. However, any day spent discussing the national security of the United States is not usually a good one for Sen. Obama. That is why the Obama campaign and its supporters in the mainstream media have chosen to marginalize this very important issue. The United States needs a commander-in-chief who sees the world as it is, not how he wishes it were.
