Lt. Gen. William G. "Jerry" Boykin, the former Delta Force commander, seems to be exactly the kind of warrior America needs to lead us in battle against the kind of fanatics we face.

The general is an evangelical Christian, and from his deep Christian beliefs he derives his convictions about the character of the war we are in, and his courage to fight it.

Pat's right on the money, AGAIN . As is Ann Coulter in her latest article.

Fareed Zakaria of NewsWeek and This Week with Geo Stephonopolous, however takes the opposite view. Writing for NR he slams the Christian right and the General. Should Fareed recluse himself? A little checking and I came up with the following.

Man of the World

Newsweek columnist Fareed Zakaria has the perfect intellectual pedigree (Indian-born, educated at Harvard, conservative) for a fast-changing world, and the kinds of friends in high places who can push a career into overdrive. The first Muslim secretary of State? Don’t bet against it.

"Yet, as commander in chief, President Bush cannot want to abandon a soldier's soldier like Jerry Boykin for having declared convictions that are probably not too far from the president's own."

Email President Bush here and tell him you support Gen. Boykin.
