A day after announcing that "On balance, I probably would have voted for it (the war on Iraq)," Democrat presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark bravely ran away.

"I would have never voted for war," Clark told Reuters before delivering a foreign policy speech at the University of Iowa. "I'm a soldier. I understand what war's about, but I would have voted for the right kind of leverage for the president to head off war and avoid it."

It's sad that the only Democrats who appear to stand on principle on this issue (Kucinich and Dean) are the ones standing for the wrong principles.
