"One of the things I learned while exploring the Everglades," says author Dave Lindorff, "was that alligators, while looking fearsome, are actually very timid animals with walnut-sized brains...attack only small prey and shy away from anything larger than they can comfortably swallow whole. In that, they sound not unlike Congressional Democrats, who may talk a good game on the stump, but who in office are afraid of their own shadows."
Unfortunately, the shadows they are afraid of are those cast by the Neanderthal Neocons, the corrupt and greedy military/industrialists, the slimy corporate lobbyists. They are not afraid of the shadows cast by an angry electorate who want an end to the rape of Iraq.
Instead of listening to the voters, most Democrats are preparing to support not only continued war, but an obscene escalation. And if they do, Bush's foreign policy of mass murder will become as much the the Democrats' fault as the Republicans.
