World War Four

(( I started this post May 4, and, in looking over my Drafts, decided to just bang out a conclusion and get it posted, forwhatitsworth.))

The continuing ignorance or obstinance (I don't know which is more troubling) by the Left of not recognizing that the Vietnam war was really just a theater of World War III, the war against Communist expansion, is being repeated now in World War IV, the war against Islamofascist terrorism.
They've been at war with us for decades. We've finally responded, under the leadership of George W. Bush.

Over a year ago, Norman Podhoretz published a comprehensive analysis of this battle in the pages of Commentary magazine, comprehensively titled "World War IV: How It Started, What It Means, and Why We Have to Win". It is well worth the investment of time it will take you to read and absorb. (Print it, punch the pages, and bind it) Consider it as an assignment of citizenship.
