I appreciate your perspective from out in the Pacific! It hurt even there I see. Wir sind zu viel.
"
If we lose this war it will be because our leader is too civilized to fight on the Arabs' terms. That is a vanity that has already cost the Israelis dearly. Being a Yale man, Bush is determined to execute a gentleman's war with a gentlemanly number of casualties, giving our enemy the time to lock and load his weapons of mass destruction. At this time America can no more afford Bush's chivalry than it can afford his compassion."
"The advantages of going on offense are unarguable. It is the inevitable choice of the winner of the opening coin toss at any football game. A defensive posture is all Bush can manifest. Nothing can render us more vulnerable than to ordain that America must adopt a preventive posture in a holy war and fight by the code of chivalry.?
