To most war opponents, the blame increasingly lies with the Democratic leadership in Congress, for not taking a hard enough line with President Bush and not fighting to cut off war funding. And their frustration is visibly bubbling over — the provocative group Code Pink, for example, has actually taken to protesting outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home in San Francisco in recent days

But there is a growing feeling among many Democrats, particularly within the D.C. establishment, that just the opposite is true. They may not say it publicly, for fear of arousing the grass roots’ wrath, but the realist wing of the party seems to think the Democrats’ biggest problem on Iraq these days is not that there’s too much Bush Lite but that there’s too much Bush Left.

Under this view, too many anti-war activists, not satisfied with berating the president, have too often wound up behaving like him. They have gone beyond fighting back and holding the Decider accountable to adopting the same divisive, dogmatic and ultimately destructive style of politics that Democrats have been decrying for the past seven years, with the same counterproductive results.

Right-o, Dangerman. If MoveOn, the blogs and all those crazy lefties who were right about the war in the first place had all just shut up and stopped holding the feet of Democrats to the fire over this, no doubt the war would be over by now. Why didn’t you tell us sooner?

Thirdparty has a note for concern troll Dangerstein:

Not many people in this country did as much last year to ensure the continuation of the Iraq War as Dan Gerstein.

So, sorry, Dan. You don’t get to give the anti-war movement your helpful pointers.

You wanted it, you worked for it, you got it. Lieberman’s war is your war.

Wear it well, Danger Dan.
