The response of Democrats to Rudy Giuliani's understandable and justifiable assertion that America would resume a defensive posture against Islamic terrorism, should Democrats regain the White House in 2008, suggests that they possess more than a little insecurity on the matter.

Rudy ought to intensify his attack against Democrats, regardless of how offensive it is to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. They and their party have only themselves to blame for such attacks. By continuing to be supportive of their Majority Leader, Harry "we're losing the war" Reid, and not calling for his ouster from that position after his contemptible and outrageous remark, they - and the Democratic party as a whole - are deserving of at least the same magnitude of attack as Rudy delivered to them yesterday.
