I am getting tired of hearing O'Reilly types wonder if we're going to win the war in Iraq, as if anybody thinks there's a possibility that the terrorists/insurgents will be able to defeat the U.S. military.

The only way we will "lose" is if the milquetoast liberals in this country lose the war for us in the papers and on the college campuses. I'm glad that these same people weren't successful in derailing our efforts during WWII or this blog would probably be written in German.

Finally, when you hear the network news anchors telling you about "another soldier killed in Iraq today," remind yourself that 51 million people in Allied nations lost their lives during WWII, with more than 400,000 of these deaths being American soldiers (wikipedia). While each and every soldier lost is truly tragic, I think we need to get a little better frame of reference when discussing the current war in Iraq. Even an anti-war site lists the current American death toll at just 2,439, or roughly .61% of the American deaths during WWII. Frankly, I am ashamed at how much of our backbone we've lost in just a couple of generations.
