Civil War?

In the U.S., not Iraq. Ed Morrissey notes Russ Feingold's gone to Iraq and spouted off that large troop presence is encouraging the "insurgents."

Wisconsin voters should be ashamed of their Senator. It's bad enough that Feingold is using an extra-Constitutional censure against George Bush in order to bolster his candidacy. Now he has to take his defeatist demands for retreat into the war zone while we're fighting al-Qaeda and attempting to rebuild Iraq into a representative democracy. It's a shameful episode that may not have any equivalent in American history.

This refusal to let politics stop at the water's edge by politicians who have no respect for democracy strikes me as a harbinger of more division in this country. Democrats have become so angry and nasty they're in danger of going beyond their inflammatory rhetoric and pointless protest rallies. If their leaders don't tone it down, we're likely to see more division, not less.
