On 18 May, I posted comments that were based on Andrew Bocevich's column reflecting on his son's recent death in Iraq. The major point was his distress that a clear election in 2006 signaling a change in strategy in Iraq did not achieve the expected results. There was no change. Dr. Bocevich wondered whether we were functioning as a democracy when the majority vote did not generate changes in government.
One cannot dispel the serious misgivings of our elected officials who seem unable to implement the will of the majority. There seems to be no end to the same, tired policies.
Harold Meyerson comes to the same concerns based on comments by the Democratic contenders for President. You would never know that they knew the results of the 2006 election or the consistent findings of public opinions polls that clearly reject continuation of our present role in Iraq.
It gets back to the same concern: are we functioning as a democracy when the majority is thwarted by public officials?
