Hanson at NRO is a must read if you haven't already:

While we may be in various stages of bellicosity with differing states, the fact is that after September 11 we will either accept defeat and stay within our borders to fight a defensive war of hosing down fires, bulldozing rubble, arresting terrorist cells, and hoping to appease or buy off our enemies abroad — or we will eventually have to confront Syria, Lebanon's Bekka Valley, Saudi Arabia, and Iran with a clear request to change and come over to civilization, or join the Taliban and Saddam Hussein.

As usual, he is thought provoking, something the Left doesn't want any of us to do. We have choices here and we need info. But why does Hanson have to make the case? IT'S BUSH, STUPID and he is simply incapable of doing it. I say again: Bush is a poor president, a horrid communicator, and his Administration is adrift.
