Show me this "appeasement mindset" in the public statements of any 
Democrats in the House or the Senate.  I think it is all imagined.

I think the Democrats have been more thoughtful and they would have done a 
better job in the aftermath of 9/11 (if it would have occurred at all 
under their watch).  Under Democrat leadership I think America's status in 
the world would have risen dramatically instead of plummeting (less 
torture, less killing of innocent civilians, etc.).  I think this would 
have helped the situation in the Middle East.  I also think that most 
Republicans would have done a much better job than Bush has done.  In 
fact, I would have thought that Bush would have done a better job than 
Bush has done, but I didn't know him well enough in those early days to 
see how reckless and short-sighted he would be.
