Anna,

This commentary is great. I agree with you about being pro-victory. I keep saying that there is no safety in security. We will never enact enough security measures to prevent these swine from killing more Americans. The only hope of peace or safety comes in victory. We must hit them so hard that they will either be dead or the survivors will surrender.

taken up by what appeared to be nothing more than a jumble of stacked books covered with my six-year-olds army toys -- tanks, helicopters, soldiers large, small and Risk-sized, with a few cowboys and Vikings thrown in for good measure. To me, a nonsensical disaster.

When at peace, prepare for war. When at war, prepare for peace. One can only fail when one is ill-prepared, and yes, it seems nonsensical.

The problem in the Middle East is that one party (Islam) hasn't made any preparations for peace during this war. If we keep slamming them, they eventually will but, it's anyone's guess as to when.

The degree of 'kick-ass' may affect the length of any subsequent peace. Say some rogue state (Iran) cracks a nuke, we follow with supernukes. Peace will follow, might go 100-150 years. Which would mean to any prudent nation 100 or so years of preparing for the next war. And the beat goes on. (/sonny&cher)

I've found my "calling" in what I do for our country's security.

Amen, babe. And thanks for the comments.

Awwwww! Spoilsport! You left the tale unfinished. He had to have given you "the look", or something, when he found out you put his war away. {;^)

Katie Couric's premier evening news broadcast yesterday evening started with a special report heralding the Taliban's renewed presence in Afghanistan. In seemingly reverent tones reminiscent of whisperings in the midst of a church service, the correspondent explained how just last year the Taliban had been driven out, but are now back with a vengeance, just miles from a U.S. military base. "And they're not afraid to operate out in the open either."

It's the sick meanderings of supposed journalists that can't find a positive thing to cover, that leads me to think they have never played for a team, don't know what it would be like to root for the home team and probably think this is all one big silly spoof, not really mattering who wins or loses.

We must win this. That means that as a nation we should ideally be united. Instead those who think Bush is the devil incarnate, incessantly tear away at the effort, doing their best to demoralize everyone but the terrorists.

Whether Bush is the Great Satan or not, whether Cheney is really Beelzebub, whether Rumsfeld is the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, there is one thing that rises above it all. We either win this and put and end to the notion terrorists can reign supreme, or we surrender our futures once and for all.

Somehow it just doesn't matter all that much to me what Bush really is. I know what terrorists really are, and Bush or no Bush, they want our freedom, and are willing to die to take it away.

That's all I need to know.

It's something Cindy Shehan will never know, for the woman isn't capable of that much understanding. Like we all didn't know that.

Thanks for your thoughts. It is important this issue is kept in front of us. It's important we ponder what the stakes are. It's important that we be determined to win. It's important for us to resolve to drag the Katie Courics, the Cindy Shehan's and the rest of the fruitcakes along with us to victory. It's that important.

"We must hit them so hard that they will either be dead or the survivors will surrender."

I couldn't agree more. I only wonder "when" are we going to do just that? It gives me no solace from my bleecher row seats to question the powers that be, however I can't but help wondering if those powers and the nation at large has the hutzpah to do it?

Great piece, Anna.

I also think the media's incessant attempts to depict even the smallest setback as just another step to our inevitable defeat is wearing thin.

Cindy Sheehan, Howard Dean, all of them - the more these crazy aunts are let out of the attic, the better.

Most of us will never forget.
