The GOP and National Security

Their two leading candidates, Giuliani and Romney, are among the least qualified foreign policy candidates to run for the presidency since ... well, George W. Bush in 2000. But we're at war now. Why would we trust two men who have been completely unable even to articulate a policy on Iraq and whose views on Islamist terror are so crude and ill-informed (they both believe that the Shia and the Sunnis are interchangeable with respect to U.S. foreign policy) that we'd be running a huge risk in electing them? I can't stand Clinton, but in terms of her foreign policy homework, she is in a different league of professionalism than Romney or Rudy. For the first time in my lifetime, with the proud exception of McCain, the GOP is clearly less serious about national security than the leading Democratic candidates.
