But just as Sisyphus was forever doomed to start pushing his rock anew — once it cascaded back just as he reached the apex — so shall we too have to start all over again should we lose our nerve with the summit now within sight. And such large boulders roll faster and in deadlier fashion downhill than during the slow and arduous push up.

Up to this point, I think Hanson had it right. He has no substantive proof that we are anywhere near "the summit."

Pakistan continues her machinations, Iran approaches nuclear capability, North Korea is close to an intercontinental delivery system, FARC in Colombia is taking technical assistance from Castro (who has considerable bio-warfare capabilities) and financial help from Chavez, China is developing MIRV capabilities, Brazil is also cooperating with Cuba, and Messico is invading our southern region with impunity while Islam is the fastest growing religion there.

Meanwhile, we are fast going broke.

What summit?
