The Bush era Democrats know this well. But of course even when opposition succeeds and turfs out the Bad Guys, still we must have some propositions to proceed from That is where Kerry failed though not much of a rap on him for that. He had unified the anti-war vote but that was and is a gaggle of philosophically contradicting views that makes a menacing but unsteady monolith. Yes, Sharon was right. Let the Pals make their own way, if they can. Let the tickbird live without the hippo. They are now led by popularly elected leaders. There was always little doubt that Hamas spoke for the Pali polity. Now there is none. Clarity is always a good thing for the long term. It can pinch for a good while in the short, however.
