That seems a bit strong.

Many are weenies, who would surely take just a little appeasement to keep themselves safe - for now.

I will not tar 48-50% of the American population so blithely. I'm sure there are those in the higher echelons of party, government, or business, who want power - at whatever cost - and damn the consequenses. There is a special corner of hell reserved for them, that would sell out their country to the highest bidder.

People often say that the President is the image of the American people. That is true in a way deeper than we often think. If one could watch the face of our nation change during this war on terror, we would see the same transformation that we see with serious pride in the face of the President. The lines, the hardness, the decisiveness, but also the deep passion for the people and, in a broader sense for a humanity forced into so much bitter difficulty against his will and plans, are unmistakable.

How cynical in contrast are the stupid and frivolous grins of the Democratic candidate during his public appearances. One hardly has to ask which of these parties two enjoys war, and who therefore wanted and provoked it. The face of the guilty ones betray them.

Despite all their shouting, the liberals have not been able to weaken the magic force of the President's personality. It grows in power every day. In a time like ours, so short of great men, the presence of such a man on our side amazes even our enemies.
