Points to ponder
"Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself." --Jean Francois Revel
"There is another term for tolerant inaction in the face of danger: appeasement. Whether they know it or not, the Deans, Clarkes, Kerrys and all the other politicians and pundits who will find any excuse for inaction or retreat, are, functionally, appeasers. That is a rational policy -- if the enemy is appeasable. If Hitler had been content with taking Czechoslovakia, Neville Chamberlain would be seen as a great man by history. And Churchill would have been seen as the mere warmonger he was then called. If, today, the Islamist terrorists are appeasable, then Bush is a fool. If they are not, then we should apply to America, Churchill's warning to England over 70 years ago: 'England's hour of weakness is Europe's hour of danger.' And we should be heartened by George Bush's confident strides in the inevitably bloody march to peace." --Tony Blankley
