Dick Polman (Philadelphia Inquirer):

We can all agree that this Fourth of July holiday is not particularly festive, given the grim tidings on all fronts. But perhaps the unhappiest Americans these days are the antiwar liberal Democrats who voted with enthusiasm for Barack Obama, only to find him tethered to a protracted war in a remote region that for two millennia has foiled virtually every foreign invader.
