I watched Wesley Clark on TV today discussing the situation with North Korea and Iran. I guess he is speaking for Democrats. He thinks Bush should be having one-on-one talks with both North Korea and Iran, but should have gotten more countries involved in negotiations prior to invading Iraq. I think I've figured out the Democrats approach: whatever Bush did is wrong, and we should be doing the opposite. I have reached a general conclusion that Democrats don't understand that systems are dynamic, but rather they assume that all systems are static. This applies to Global Warming, where there is no appreciation that climate has always been changing, sometimes rapidly, like 20 degrees in 10 years. And to the economy where it is assumed that raising taxes will generate more money for the government and cutting taxes will reduce government revenue despite experience over the last 50 years that shows the opposite is true. Then there is war. They seem to not understand that the enemy reacts to what you do, and that what opponents to the war proposed at the start of the Iraq war may not have worked as well as what we actually did. I also conclude that we can't afford to turn defense of the country over to Democrats until they come to their senses, and find some leaders like Truman and John Kennedy instead of Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi.
