    Is Democratic support for militarism a tactic or what many of them really believe?

    It is a mistake to characterize the support of DNC type Democrats for a militaristic foreign policy as just a not so clever ploy to help them get elected.

    To the contrary many of them believe in the mission to make the Mideast safe for Israel and US oil companies almost as much as Bush does. Their main problem with Bush is that he the blew it.

    There is a Grand Canyon size gap between the mind set of party insiders and the Democratic voting base on issues of war and peace.
