"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

So Hillary Rodham Clinton had a pretty good week. But so did the Republicans.How can that be? Answer: As the junior senator from New York closes in on the Democratic nomination, Republican prospects for the general election are improving - because concern for national honor eclipses enthusiasm for national health insurance.As Clinton demonstrated during her pentathlon of Sunday talk shows, she is an effective Q-and-A advocate for her new health care plan. And that probably guarantees her the Democratic nomination.But Clinton is ahead of the Republican hopefuls, although not by much - just three points or so - against the leading Republican, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. And that's a surprisingly narrow margin, given the anti-Republican mood of the country; the best overall metrics of public opinion are President George W. Bush's job-approval ratings and the "right track/wrong track" question - and both are 2-1 negative.In such a situation, one might expect the Democrats to be on their way to another big victory in 2008.But they don't seem to be so strong, at least not at the presidential level. How come? One answer is that while the voters were eager to punish the Republicans, they still don't entirely trust the Democrats.Moreover, it would appear that many Democrats, including Clinton, have misread the zeitgeist, the spirit of the times. In wartime, people tend to become morally conservative. They pray more, reflecting upon the sacrifice that others are making; they take patriotism and pride in the military more seriously.Such sentiments were well expressed by David Lloyd George, the British prime minister during and after World War I: "The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the everlasting things that matter for a nation - the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honour, Duty, Patriotism, and, clad in glittering white, the towering pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven."
