exhalations

Tina Brown

Once again Tina Brown, in her own caustic way, says what many are thinking in her column on Hillary Clinton, the Democrats, and the Iraqi elections in today's Washington Post, The Difference Between Faint and Fainthearted.

Even reporters on the ground in Iraq could hardly believe what they were living through as they watched the power of an idea transmute into the living, breathing form of black-clad women, Marsh Arabs and throngs of Kurdish mountaineers festively making their way to the polls.

I think most of us want the elections to succeed, but how can we overlook all the wrongheaded moves, the lies, the deaths of Americans and Iraqis that brought us to this point.

That's why among Democrats there's a lot of quiet soul-searching going on. Every Bush hater you meet in New York is engaged with an inner struggle of how much to let go of the past.
