Sure!  The Democratic Party continues to “sustain war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism” because it is no longer the party of FDR.  Think about that one for a moment.  Gravel won’t get any argument from me if he wants to run against “war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism,” but you have to wonder what he thinks FDR’s policies ultimately created.  

Update: Anthony Gregory had the same reaction.
