World War IV is the final worldwide conflict that must be resolved in the West's favor, with America -- unfortunately -- forced to carry the major burden while Europe sleeps. Yes, there are more than 2,000 casualties, and even one is too much. But this war is being fought no less vigorously than any of the three previous worldwide conflicts. To his enemies' dismay, Mr. Bush is winning World War IV, the fight against Muslim fascist extremism and its vicious terrorism. The full conflict is only four years old, yet we are making progress more quickly than in anti-communist fight that lasted 50 years. Let us look at the actual record, and not at the journalistic distortions. (1) Since September 11, 2001, there has not been a single case of terrorism in the United States. (2) Mr. Bush's conquest of the Taliban fascists was applauded universally, and Afghanistan has the beginnings of a Muslim democracy, something no one has been able to accomplish in history. A great victory in World War IV. (3) Mr. Bush's invasion of Iraq has eliminated Saddam Hussein, whose continued presence in Iraq would have made impossible the Middle East's progress toward freedom. The insurgency is at its height, but a guerrilla war without a competing idea and majority public support (most Iraqis support the government) will fail. The desperate insurgents now kill 20 innocent Iraqis for every American. The majority Kurds and Shi'ites, once pushed beyond their amazing patience, will end this insurgency, bloodlessly or otherwise.

Excellent reminder and MSM antidote!
I disagree.
No war was ever won without burning cities and piles of dead civilians.
Hearts and minds ain't gonna work with this one. We have to make them sick of war and destroy their religion like we did with Japan.
Half measures won't work.
Oh, and there are not just 2000 casualties, we are over 5000 just counting the September 11th casualties.
I am old enough to remember when the democratic party was for the working man, the common man, the salt of the earth. Now I find that in Bush.
I remember my dad defining a democrat the same way when I was a kid. After hearing that, the choice was easy. Now? I tell my kids that democrats are anti-american communists who want to take all your money and run your life. They're Bush supporters. ;)
