Sir Winston's wisdom

Ahhh, Churchill. What a man. What a man-for-the-time, he was!
Every now and then, God sends us a person to fill a need, to fulfill a destiny. The right person at the right time, with just the particular talents and temperament, vision and initiative, and the character and courage that are demanded for by the challenge at hand.

He saved a continent. With a little help from Uncle Sam, he saved a continent.

And his wisdom in the face of evil, counsels us with timeless insight today:

"What would happen if all these neutral nations...were with one spontaneous impulse to do their duty...and were to stand together...against aggression and wrong? At present their plight is lamentable; and it will become much worse. They bow humbly and in fear to...threats of violence. ... Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But I fear...the storm will not pass. It will rage and it will roar, ever more loudly, ever more widely... There is no chance of a speedy end except through united action."

With increasing attacks on the innocent, across a widening battlefield of peaceful nations, our Islamofascist enemies are not going to slink off into the darkness from which they crawled. They must be vanquished! We face not an enemy of nations, but of ideology. And it's proponents are in our midst.

Though judicious use of force is required to protect the innocent, here and abroad, we mustn't tolerate irresolution masquerading as restraint.

And the sooner the weak and cowardly world leaders get about the task, the sooner it'll be finished, the fewer lives will be lost, and Islam can regain the respect it's lost at the hands of the fanatics.
