Home of the Gutless

I'm going to take this opportunity to throw a little required reading your way. Syndicated columnist Mark Steyn has written an excellent editorial that you simply can't miss:

"Whatever it started out as, Iraq is a test of American seriousness. And, if the Great Satan can't win in Vietnam or Iraq, where can it win? That's how China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Venezuela and a whole lot of others look at it.
"These Colors Don't Run" is a fine T-shirt slogan, but in reality these colors have spent 40 years running from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the helicopters in the Persian desert, the streets of Mogadishu. ... To add the sands of Mesopotamia to the list will be an act of weakness from which America will never recover."

He's right. When we pull out of Iraq, all that paper tiger rhetoric will be proven to be true. These are sad times we're living in.
