One thing we hear all the time is how the Republicans/Bush/etc let us down. The other side feels the same way:


Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone takes the Congressional Democratic leadership under withering fire for their capitulation on Iraq. He also claims that the leadership has cynically used the anti-war movement as a vehicle to attack Republicans and "elect Democrats" while never really having a plan to end the war in Iraq.

What I'm getting at is the underlying political reality we deal with; we can't have all we want, and least not right now this instant. Any movement forward will be step by step with compromises. Yet our side punishes these compromises even when they are a net benifit.

Now, I'm not arguing that any and all compromises are good. Many are not. But any path forward will involve compromise.
