HAS THE Democratic Party become a cult? And is left-wing billionaire George Soros its guru? (“A Self-Defeating War,” editorial page, Aug. 15). The chorus of hosannas with which leftwing bloggers now greet Mr. Soros’s silliest utterances — and the faithfulness with which Democratic leaders repeat them — suggests that the answer to both questions is yes.

Take the current Democratic mantra that if there are terrorists in the world, George Bush has created them. This is a familiar Soros-ism. As he has done many times before, Mr. Soros decries President Bush’s characterization of the global conflict as a “war on terror” as “a misleading figure of speech applied literally [which] has unleashed a real war fought on several fronts — Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia — a war that has killed thousands of innocent civilians and enraged millions around the world . . . we can escape it only if we Americans repudiate the war on terror as a false metaphor.”

The Islamic jihad was on the march — and killing Americans — for 20 years before George Bush employed the metaphor. Back in 1979, the streets of Tehran were already filled with a million frenzied Muslims chanting “Death to America,” and the 9/11 attacks were themselves hardly in response to anything the American president had said.

But because this judgment is the considered wisdom of a billionaire whose network controls the purse strings of the Democratic Party, this is now the foreign policy of the liberal opposition. When George Soros speaks, Democrats listen.
