Our enemies have made a bet -- that the West in general and the United States in particular are soft and decadent and have no attention span.

And sadly, the odds are in their favor.

That America has the best, biggest and most technologically advanced military on the planet? Or that the minute you send it anywhere hysterical congressmen are shrieking that we need an "exit strategy"? The corpulent snorer in the La-Z-Boy recliner may have a beautifully waxed Ferrari in the garage, but he hates having to take it out on the potholed roads. Still, it looks mighty nice parked in the driveway when he washes it.

Unfortunately, Jon Cary speaks for many in this country when he compares our "beautifully waxed Ferrari" military to uneducated incompetents.

Unfortunately, on 11/7/2006, Americans---including those conservatives who stayed home---voted to cut and run.

Sadly .. he's right .. many don't have the stomach nor the spine to stand up and defend freedom

"We are," warns Al Gore portentously, "altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe."

You can't reason with people like this. They have some form of madness that is destructive to civilization. They are a modern version of locusts, some plague sent to punish or destroy a nation.

There was a time when we could trust our children with rifles. Now we can't even trust our adults with children. People like that facilitated and encouraged that massive change in our culture.

Our enemies have made a bet -- that the West in general and the United States in particular are soft and decadent and have no attention span. America has the advantage of the most powerful army on the face of the planet, but she doesn't have the stomach for war, so it's no advantage at all.

Bingo. I realized that the "New World Order" had arrived when Truman fired General MaCarthur for trying to win the Korean War-- and the subsequent Cold War. Pressure from the United Nations, designed by Communists to create a global "socialist" government, has turned us into the Paper Tiger the Chinese know us to be. Our people are willing to fight but not our "leaders." On one side nationalistic wars are seen as "bad for business;" on the other they're seen as "bad for the advance of world socialism."

After all, if you were a typical viewer of CNN International, what would have made the biggest impression on you since Sept. 11? That America has the best, biggest and most technologically advanced military on the planet? Or that the minute you send it anywhere hysterical congressmen are shrieking that we need an "exit strategy"?

This book ought to be required reading for every Congresscritter - those who can read. Those who can't read should get the book on tape and listen to it.

Well said, and sadly true.
