"What a sorry sight. It's not a question of whether you're "for" or "against" a war. Once you're in it, the choice is to win it or lose it. And, if you're arguing for what will look to most of the world like the latter option, you better understand what the consequences are. In this case, it would, in effect, end the American moment."
This, in my opinion, is the most pointed and missed arguement against the anti-war crowd. If this were a question asked over and over again the message just might turn on a light for the crowd who just goes along with the prevailing majority wisdom. As a Native Texan, I never saw so many Longhorn logos in my life outside of Texas. When I present the "Hook-em Horns" hand gesture they look at me like I am stupid. I just grin because it is only their reflection.

During World II, Americans understood that to be against the war would gurantee Nazism and the Rising Sun victory over the West. It was both illogical and stupid. Today being against the war means guaranteeing a future where free people can be beheaded at will, women forced behind burqas and if non-Muslims haven't been wiped out by a few nuclear bombs, the survivors will be second class citizens in a totalitarian world that will make the one the Nazis dreamed up look like a Sunday parade by comparison. To refuse to win the war means allowing evil to win. There can be no legitimate anti-war movement in the midst of a war if the aim is to lead to the defeat of your own country and extinguishing freedom around the planet. Keep that in mind as you remember the 25 percenters don't even care about their own lives much less than the future of their own children. That's why we have got to keep on fighting until we achieve victory. For that is the only true guarantee the American Moment will endure well beyond this century.
