The great thing about being on the winning side is this: When it comes to the extremely positive things that have been going on in Iraq this week, the Democrats are stuck in a position of having to say they are happy about the dawning of freedom in a country that has known only tyranny, while having a record of comments and votes over the past few years that if they were in power would have made that freedom impossible.
John Kerry was forced to watch a mother who lost her son, indeed, probably, the most important thing in her life, so that the lady sitting in front of her, who had lost her father under the regime of Saddam Hussein, could live in a country that is free embrace the Iraqi woman, all the while having on record the words "Wrong war, wrong place, wrong time." All the while knowing, whether he can bring himself to admit it to himself or not, that he and his positions are on the wrong side of history.
I think anyone who opposed our action in Iraq forfeited their right to weep with joy at the embrace between those two women.
