"Below Obama’s level, I am hit yet again by a reality that has struck me many times in the recent past: where is the Democrats’ John McCain? Where is the Democrat who, when events like this happen, can step forward and say the things the president can’t say, describe with eloquence and credibility the liberal internationalist view, what America ought to be doing and standing for? It’s a serious shortcoming in the party and has long been so. It would be terrible, as was the case during Lebanon’s Cedar Revolution of 2005, to see the Democrats retreat and let the Republicans be the people the small-d democrats fighting for their rights look to."
