Attention!
Our troops give so much of themselves, and we all benefit from their efforts.

The next time you look at your bank balance, why not find some way to take some money and put it towards supporting the members of our armed services in some way? Maybe find a family who has someone serving, and buy them dinner, or some groceries, or a gift for their children? Maybe find a way to contribute to a fund for the memory of any of those who have fallen? Our armed forces deserve our support in tangible ways.

...whereby 14 months is a precipitous "rush to war" but a 14-day war is a Vietnam-style quagmire..."

Clinton had tactics, not strategy: his inability to reach what the special prosecutor Ken Starr called "completion" extended far beyond Monica's gullet.

There's no laugh like and easy laugh. Steyn's genius is wicked and deadly as a foil.

" this business of who accords whom the honour of visiting whose village is an obsession of Arab mukhtars, not Texans. "

Ouch. Big diss.

Of someone.

Steyn. Brilliant again. The "one man global content provider". Every column a gem...

On the money

As for Syria, there will be no need to invade.

First time I've ever disagreed with Steyn. I think we'll end up having to invade. They are, after all, Baathist. They have the HQ of all the major terrorist organizations there, and they are not going to kick them out or turn them into relief groups. And, if reports are true about Iraqi leaders, scientists, research and WMDs being transferred to Syria, the liberation will come sooner rather than later.

There's no good reason to keep another thuggish government in power, and lots of reasons to get rid of them. I say start the process.

Bush has a strong team and he likes to delegate, and the people to whom he delegates have strong teams to whom they delegate. It was the commanders on the ground who set the pace to Baghdad. If President Bush is looking for a system of effective decentralisation to bequeath to Iraq, his own Administration these past four weeks is a good working model.

Ahhh...The American(or is it Republican?)Way!! Decentralized, With an emphasis on individual freedom of thought!!
