There is no "Third Way"; for America "losing Iraq" means losing a great deal more than that...
The great tragedy of our time is that there are many on the looney left who think we are not even AT war. Still others believe we are at war but "aren't quite sure who to root for"--or so he says (we all can see clearly that he is rooting against America).
The latter group, of course is, even worse; especially when the person in question runs the largest worldwide news network on the Globe. At least the blissfully ignorant who don't get it that we are at war--let alone the enormously high stakes between winning and losing--can claim a mental handicap rather than out-and-out sedition.
Mark Steyn's sensational column in today's Chicago Sun-Times blows the doors off of both arguments, as does his unbelievably riveting page-turner America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It (this should be required reading for every single American citizen: it is profoundly disturbing and sobering, but it is one hell of a better alternative for a wake-up call than would be New York, Washington, or LA going up in a mushroom cloud.)
Yes we are at War, and it is the most critical war since the American Civil War. So maybe it is time for the ignorant to wake the hell up and for the seditious to be thrown in jail and taken off the air.
Agree with that last point or not, after reading Steyn's book (and today's column) if you still can't comprehend the dire situation America and the world is in--and the consequences of losing this war--say goodbye to the United States we have long known and loved.
This is probably as important a mid-term election than any you will see in your lifetime--the stakes of failure are that high; we simply cannot risk leaving the country in the hands of those who would destroy what we have in this country.
I know many people will read this and insist I am being melodramatic; that in itself is indicative of just how clueless many people are about the danger before us. Read America Alone. And then try telling me where Steyn has it wrong....
