Democrats and the Middle East

U.S. politics, a presidential election and foreign policy. It's been a grim few months in the Middle East. The once promising road map for peace is now in shreds. A Palestinian Prime Minister has resigned and members of the Israeli cabinet is now talking about "removing" Yasser Arafat. Things aren't looking much better in Baghdad where mounting casualties and costs are taking a toll, and not just on the soldiers and the citizens there, but back here, on President Bush's approval ratings.
Now some Democrats are asking more pointed questions about American policy in Israel and in Iraq, but others are saying whoa, worried that questions which are too pointed might hurt more than help. The Democrats fight it out over foreign policy.
