I wouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But that is not relevant in the case of Rudy Giuliani. There is only a sliver of the good in him and I expect that the war will be better left to the Democrats. When we get hit again for the third or fourth time the Democrat, especially if it is Mrs. Bill, will lash out explosively and will end the Jihad for this century. A Republican will be forever hampered with a congress that prefers suicide and national destruction to winning a war with a Republican president. The most forthright and militant Defender of the Nation, if he be Republican, will not be able to do a thing constructive after 2008 with the war. My only hope now for the 2008 election is that Bush takes care of Iran in the next few months. We do not have to invade. We need to destroy the modern military capability of Iran and the refineries and much of the modern infrastructure, seize the offshore and maybe some of the onshore oil wells, and render ports and airports unusable. There should be no HeartsandMinds crap, no rebuilding. It does not matter that the Iranian population may be proAmerican- that will change when the real war comes and it will come, whether now when we can do it relatively cheaply or later when it will be much more expensive and damaging to the homeland, our homeland.
