Advice to democrats
They won't listen, but the best chance the democrats have to regain political power is to help Bush win the war. If they attacked him on the right and called for a stronger military and a more vigorous prosecution of the Iraq and terror war, supported every effort he proposed through a unified message of support, the resulting success would leave Bush and the Republicans in the same position as the first Bush after he won decisively in Iraq. They would be left with a terrible fiscal mess, an inflated budget deficit, and no plan to make things better. The conservative base would be hard to unite and victory for the democrats would surely follow. They won't win if we feel national security is the most important issue. So be it.
