| The Democrat Armed

"The recent election made clear that there is a profound anxiety over how Democrats generally manage issues of war and peace. This is because especially in the post-9/11 context, the voters want to know that Democrats will have the backbone to attack America's enemies before they can strike the nation, but unfortunately the party never showed the urgency of the conviction. Though the said prognosis is negative, it nevertheless is encouraging for Democrats, provided they develop big ideas and good national security instincts that avoid defaulting to criticisms of Republicans as the essence of their own foreign policy." Kurt M. Campbell, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Aspen Strategy Group. Michael O'Hanlon, Brookings Institution.
