<In a unipolar world, it’s clear that the real enemy in this war is ourselves, and our lemming-like rush to cultural suicide. By ‘our’, I don’t mean me or my neighbours or the American people. I don’t even mean the Democrats: American politics is more responsive and populist than Europe’s, and when war with Iraq starts Hillary will be cheerleading along with the rest of them. But against that are all the people who shape our culture, who teach our children, who run our colleges and churches, who make the TV shows we watch — and they haven’t got a clue.

This says it all. The "people who shape our culture" were trained up this way during the '60s.

In my opinion, he gives the Democratic leadership too much credit. Just because they appear to respond to popular opinion and can dance the dance when necessary, doesn't mean that they are being honest about their true opinions on America. Hillary will cheer primarily because it will get her more votes.
