It’s a mystery, wrapped in an enigma

Rich Lowry wonders: “What’s the Dems’ position on Iraq?”

“People of good will disagree about whether America should have gone to war in Iraq.” — Democratic-platform draft language

What to make of a political party that doesn't officially have a position on the biggest policy question in our politics? The Democratic-platform language on Iraq is almost meaningless. People of good will disagree about most everything, up to and including abortion and child labor — yet the Democrats manage to have positions on those issues. Iraq war, yes or no? The Democrats answer with a definite maybe.
