Janet Daley is good. This article should be forced to be read out in Berkley, I think. ;)

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."
Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: "Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." - Winston Churchill, 1940
This then, my lords and gentlemen, is the message which we send forth today to all states and nations, bound or free, to all the men in all the lands who care for freedom's cause. To our Allies and well-wishers in Europe, to our American friends and helpers drawing ever closer in their might across the ocean, this is the message-lift up your hearts, all will come right. Out of depths of sorrow and sacrifice will be born again the glory of mankind. - Winston Churchill, 1941
"What kind of a people do they think we are? Is it possible that they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?" - Winston Churchill, 1941

I just wish Ms. Daley would be honest and admit she had her head up her arse when it came to protesting the war in Vietnam.
To: MadIvan
According to Peter Jennings, the war against the vaunted Democrat Guard in Iraq was our next Vietnam. What happened?
I get a kick out of those allegedly patriotic Freepers (who claim they were "in country") who say the U.S. will get spanked in Savageland.
Either they are liars, or they got hooked on heroin after a dishonorable discharge.

Thank you! Bump for reading tomorrow when my eyes aren't glased over from lack of sleep! ;o)

Well come on, when was the last time you saw a Baby Boomer admit anything in particular?

If we want to win the "propaganda war" it's simple, (if we are serious about winning at all).
Release the thousands of still and moving pictures of crushed faces and hands and arms and legs being taken out of the WTC ground zero. Fingers and toes and noses and ears and flattened ladies heads, in buckets and bags. Release the photos onto the web.
Our government doesn't have the stomach to win this war. They are still too afraid to arouse the primal rage of Americans.
To: MadIvan
This will be no Vietnam. The goal here is clear; Total victory and unconditional surrendering up of all terrorists in the shortest amount of time. GWB has determined the mission and objectives' and has turned the "how" over to the military professionals. As GWB has made clear, "We are not negotiating!"
To: Travis McGee
All they have to do is replay the video of the people jumping off the towers, particularly of the couple that was holding hands as they jumped (something I will never forget as long as I live).
To: vbmoneyspender
Exactly. And until we do, we are not serious about steeling ourselves for the fight ahead.
To: MadIvan
The nay sayers have no goolies.
To: sheik yerbouty
Good point. ;)

In the goolies? Oh I get it, that's the Brit way of saying we're kickin' them in the balls!
To: vbmoneyspender; Travis McGee
You gentlemen have nailed it.
To: Storm Orphan
It makes me furious that ABCNNBCBS has decided to pacify us little children and hide the truthful images to keep us calm.
We need to be ANGRY to win this war!
To: vbmoneyspender
I was not a real supporter of showing the actual gore of the WTC just for public curiosity but I agree, we should DEMAND that every time CNN airs a picture of a "civilian casualty" as a result of this war, they should be required to show next to it a body or body part that was extracted from the WTC or Pentagon.
To: Travis McGee
I used to work in the media (print) and I despised the condescending "gatekeeper" attitude
infecting the editorial staff.
As if the prole readers were unable to handle the truth.
