When a Christian is praised for “success” in the Wall Street Journal, it may be time for him to take a good look at himself. It’s possible he’s succeeding with the wrong crowd.

That says it all. Any endorsement of one's actions by the WSJ should be a wake-up call to any God-fearing individual.

This is nonsense. We won because we deposed a tyrant. The Iraqi people won, because after thirty years of suffering somebody gave a damn and helped rescue them. If we had listened to the Pope, the Iraqi people would have been doomed to another three decades of Hell--under Saddam's "kids"--as Tom Brokaw called them in a revealing slip of the tongue on live camera. The Pope usually sides with the despots, as he does now with Castro, as he did with Saddam, as he does now with his own corrupt prelates. How this opposition to the war can be justified is beyond me. All the polls show is that the world--as usual--is corrupt and doesn't give a damn for the little guy so long as the status quo is maintained. The Pope agreed. Thank God Bush has a whole lot more sense--and humanity.
