The world is watching the Baathist and Islamic warriors of the Sunni Triangle and the Shiite militias and what they see they most surely do not likefor these fascists and theocrats are as foul and odious folk as they are on the wrong side of history. For a year now our soldiers have privately assured us that they were dealing with an enemy primordial and cruel. Now with the proof of filmed executions, desecration of the dead, the macabre hostage taking, and the shooters caught on tape firing from mosques and schools, the global community at last sees that this really is a war between civilization and barbarism, and one, for the worlds own sake, we Americans cannot and will not lose.
At a time when bin Laden assured the Middle East that Americans were weak and decadent, the US military tore apart the most fanatical and savage fighters of a savage Middle Eastthe only reprieve came from diplomats who fretted about the rhetoric of the hapless Arab Street. Far better than we at home, our soldiers grasped that fighting fascists for consensual government is a noble cause and should have been the source of great pride among the American people.
No, despite all the chaos in Washington, these are not bad, but rather noble times, among the best I think in our history. So let us remember the famous words of Virgil indeed perhaps the most moving in all of Latin literature.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit
The day will come when even this ordeal will be a sweet thing to remember.
And so it shall be when it is all said and done.

Our family has found a wonderful way to support the troops. Through Soldiers Angels (
http://www.soldiersangels.com/) we were given the name/address of a young Marine recently deployed to Afghanistan. It is so great to have a specific person to pray for, write to, and send needed items (eye wash, gatorade, etc.) Please consider going to their website and "adopting" someone who needs your love and support.

Great column. Thanks quidnunc and Tolik.
I email Hanson's column to my non-FReeper conservative family members to buck them up and give them talking points and to my liberal family members to shame them and piss them off.

In the current 9-11 hearings, along partisan lines and to the hisses and applause of the stacked gallery, grandstanders have tried to take apart a government even as it wages war for our national survival.Sad but true.
It's really disconcerting that a large segment of our country's people are ignorant of this fact, and another large faction is pulling for the Bush administration to BE taken apart.

If Victor Davis Hanson is so eager to expend American blood and treasure to end fascism in every nook and cranny of the planet why isn't he on his hind legs demanding that we intervene in such hell holes as the Western Sudan and Zimbabwee?
