Letter: Democrats are consistent

Editor, Daily News:

The latest cut-and-run mantra of Democrats concerning our war with terrorists in Iraq is not new. They have a history of cut-and-run that is consistent with their tax-and-spend mantra.

In China they cut off supplies to Chiang Kai-shek and allowed the Communists to take over. Now we have an enemy nuclear power that threatens us. In Korea they did not support Gen. Douglas MacArthur's idea to move into North Korea. Now we have an enemy nuclear power that threatens us.

In Vietnam they ran the war from the White House. They opposed the Contras in Nicaragua. They opposed the Shah of Iran who was replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini, the nation that now is looking for nuclear weapons. Conservatives have constantly been right in their positions but never get credit when history proves them right.

They called Mao Zedung and Fidel Castro communists, while the media and Democrats called them agrarian reformers. Conservatives opposed helping North Korea with nuclear products.

Just think, if the voters had listened to conservatives rather than Democrats, we would have allies in China and in Cuba. If voters had paid attention to conservatives, Iran would be a monarchy and not an enemy.

Not to break an unbroken record, Democrats are wrong again by not helping defeat this most dangerous enemy — radical Muslims.
