Reassert Democratic Internationalism?

When I read this latest posting of the Democratic Leadership Council, Good Night, Vietnam, I thought it was an April Fool's joke. But it's not. So what if we anti-war Democrats use slogans and methods dating back to the Vietnam War. So what if we have a "tendency to interpret any military conflict through the nostalgic lens of the political struggle against the war in Vietnam." At least we, the anti-war "Unclaimed Freight Outlet of Democratic Politics", haven't kowtowed to the Christian Fundamentalist-driven Republican-controlled House, Senate, Judiciary and Administration, unlike what the Democratic Leadership has done since before the 2002 elections. At least WE are trying to get it right; we just haven't figured out the most effective way yet.
