Bush seems to have been successful in shaping the CW to believe if we leave now or soon the whole ME will explode - seems that even some of our leading candidates are even leaving this CW either unchallenged or as the jumping off point for other arguments.
Is it a reasonable assumption?
Today Kevin Drumm over at Political Animal [Washington Month blog] raises that question. Link He had over 100 comments last time I was there.
Essentially Kevin doubts it, and a substantial number of the commentors there raise the idea that this may be this war's Domino Theory.
What say you? Perhaps more importantly what are Clinton, Edwards, Obama, et ali saying?
Personally, I think it is wrong, and, more importantly, I think it must be forcefully challenged/confronted.

You believe that; I believe that. I further believe that Bush is doing everything in his power to "stay the course" so that our new Democratic president will have to clean up his mess and give the neo-cons an opening to shift the "ownership" to the new president.
But I ask again, are any of our candidates dealing adequately with the base question? Are they waiting for the general election to handle it and is that wise?
The question is how are they responding to the attacks on their positions
