[IMC-Editorial] Letter: Are Democrats Concerned About U.S. Security?

[The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

If Democrats were really concerned about America's security, they would be criticizing 
Bush not for attacking Iraq, but for not also attacking Saudi Arabia and Iran. Not for 
failing to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but for failing to identify 
militant Islam as our ideological enemy. Not for increasing law enforcement's focus on 
Arabs and Muslims coming into America, but for shying away from really doing it. Not for 
failing to prevent the September 11 terrorist attacks, but for failing to act forcefully 
enough to prevent the next ones. 

But if Democrats changed their rhetoric and criticized Bush for all the above they would 
have to embrace self-interest as the basis for American foreign policy. But then they 
wouldn't be Democrats, would they?


Sincerely,
