The Left and the War Mike Rappaport

From Powerline:

Maybe I’m completely wrong about this, but it strikes me as almost inconceivable that we could take any military action against Iran. The left’s attack on the Iraq war has been intended, in part, to destroy the Bush administration. But there is a second, equally important objective: by portraying the Iraq war as a disaster and turning American public opinion against it, the left hopes to reprise its Vietnam success by making it impossible, for a generation, for the U.S. to fight a meaningful war. Hasn’t that project been successful? I think it has, although whether its impact will last for a generation remains to be seen.

Sadly, I think this comment is right as to the primary effect of the Left’s attack on the war.  Whether the Left has succeeded, I am not sure, but they certainly have made it much harder to go after Iran.
