3. Take out the worst authoritarian regimes in the Middle East that sponsored terrorism and attacked their neighbors, while pressuring others like a Saudi Arabia and Egypt to cease funding terrorists;

4. Support the creation of democracies in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon to offer Muslims choices other than autocracy or Islamic radicalism, while trying to encourage reform in the Middle East at large;

Basically the same thing. And IMO the REAL reason we went into Iraq. So many people here don't seem to understand this. We didn't go into Iraq just to kill terrorists, but to set up a situation where the Arabs drain their own swamp. Will this be successful? I seem to have misplaced my crystal ball darn it. But this I do know this is what the President means when he talks about a long war. The alternative is...what? Turn the Arab world into a glass parking lot? No Thank you.

5. Wage a worldwide war of ideas that frames the struggle as the freedom of the individual, liberal values, and Western economic prosperity against the Dark-Age nihilism of the world of the caliphate and Sharia law;

THIS is where we are falling down on the job. This is where we need to put more emphasis, or maybe I should say any emphasis. Because if we are doing this I don't really see it.

In a response piece, Hanson Davis Victor disagrees completely though concedes that Victor Davis Hanson does bring much clearity to the issue to which Davis Hanson Victor is in complete agreement.

I personally agree more with Hanson Hanson Victor who echoes an alternative approach similar to the thesis formulated at the Hungarian War College by esteemed professor Davis Victor Hanson.
