normblog: "In one area, however, this is [a] big mistake. Cameron has long supported the British deployment in Iraq; at first this did not distinguish him from the reflexive 'back our troops' rhetoric of the Conservative mainstream. But in fact, Cameron, a committed hawk and idealist, has clear and controversial views on the removal of Saddam Hussein and the war on terror."

Norm cites the New Republic, and of course I agree with this. The Dems must embrace democracy promotion or they'll remain very weak.

The quote ends with my own exact thoughts: "In fact, perhaps rather than criticizing Bush for projecting American power too boldly abroad, Democrats should be criticizing him for not projecting it boldly enough - our failure to act in Darfur being a case in point."
