Joe Lieberman, Statesman

If, as rumored, the Democrats soon lose Joseph Lieberman to the Republicans because of the Dems' scorched-earth policy against their own country during a shooting war, there will no longer be a "Scoop Jackson/Sam Nunn/Zell Miller" Democrat left. This may be a good short term win for Republicans, but in the long term the Democrats' turn to the hard left endangers the entire country--and world.

Lieberman's words today in the Wall Street Journal were statesmanlike, even-handed, and sensible. The tragedy is that no one else in his old party recognizes this fact. If you have not already seen it, do not hesitate read the whole thing.
