US Elections 2006 : Republican v. Democrat on Security - by Burt Hall

National security stands as a major issue in the US Nov. 7 election, as it did in 2002 and 2004 when President George W. Bush was portrayed as America's protector and the Democrats came across as weak and indecisive. But the issue is no longer the Republican strong suit it once was. Now, with much more evidence of Bush's real record on national security known to the American people, polls indicate that the Republicans have lost their decisive advantage. In this guest essay, Burt Hall, a national security expert and co-author (with Ed Asner) of Misuse of Power, evaluates the two parties on this crucial issue.
