Even all of our journalists are not libs. You just don't hear enough from/about them.
Lorrie Goldstein, Editor of the Toronto Sun received my first letter to the editor..It was when he wrote a wonderful supportive editorial about the US, lamenting the rise of anti American rhetoric in Canada,during a time that really had me reeling..
I thanked him for his supportive words..I received a thoughtful, kind reply...I will not forget it.
Comparing U.S. President George Bush with Winston Churchill is being ignorant. The comparison is, in fact, insulting to both the memory of Winston Churchill and to GWB as a person.
Winston Churchill was who he was, as GWB is who he is.
Two completely different human beings, living in two completely separate worlds, having dealt with, or now dealing with, two very different sets of problems.
My ... my ... has anyone ever told you you look just like ...
Speaking of Churchill...look what a northern neighbor says!
To some.
To others we share this globe with it would represent what you and I think of the Iraqi criminals on that deck of cards.
The reality is, that to over 35% of Americans, GWB is hated more than the terrorists.
And no ... I do not look just like Jack Nicholson. He, rather, looks just like me.
"Even all of our journalists are not libs. You just don't hear enough from/about them"
Quite true...too often they are subjected to a hostile institutional culture or are shouted down when they dare to speak in ideological terms.
My guess is that the author of this article doesn't get invited to too many cocktail parties.

Thanks very much for your kind words Judy, you're a Great American :-)
<<< hoping that Judy might consider moving a bit further South one day :-)
Thank you for your kind words, Stoat.
More than that, Bush is doing what the UN is supposed to do, but rarely has -- curb tyrannies that threaten security and stability, and which indulge in oppression and human rights abuses.
GREAT ARTICLE.
Seriously, this might be the article of the month. Nothing I've seen has so perfectly summarized the situation now and compared it so well to the situation between the wars.

Agreed, particularly considering the source. I believe that honest historians will eventually place President Bush among the great statesmen, easily comparable to Churchill in terms of his steadfastness in the face of evil and political attacks from the appeasers of evil.
I often thank God that Gore didn't win...we would likely have suffered numerous additional terror attacks after 9/11 and would still be "waiting for sanctions to work and for the inspectors to be allowed to complete their work" in Iraq.
How many more people would have been fed through Saddam's shredding machines by now? How many chemical and nuke warheads would Saddam have transferred to Al-Queda operatives by now if Gore had been Commander in Chief?
We are truly Blessed to have President Bush in office now, and I believe that once we get the Baathist holdouts and terrorist scum cleaned out of the country and things get moving nicely in Iraq, we will see the blooming of a great beacon of democracy, prosperity, knowledge and peace in the Middle East which will begin a domino effect that will be unstoppable.
Once people taste the sweetness of freedom and prosperity, there's no turning back, and Iraq will be our good friend and ally for generations to come.
Different situations certainly, although not completely different. However, the principals of leadership are the same. Firmness rather than flaccidity. Resolve rather than irresolution. Willingness to face hard facts and to make difficult choices.
Bless you.
My cousin in Vancouver, B.C. is one of the best human beings I've ever known but thoroughly brainwashed, as you say, into a raving foaming "socialist." Her only concern, in the wake of our 9/11, was for the certain "redneck backlash" against Arabic people residing in North America.
Needless to say, she hates her own country and government too. So sad.
Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Rider!
Bully!
