The Power of Will

Winning still matters.

Victor Davis Hanson reminds us that in war, certain things do not change. The Islamofascists cannot win against us on the battlefield, thus they fight us where they think we are vulnerable; in the playground of The Elite Media Monoculture and in the haunts of the radical left. Just as in the days of Vietnam, we have a fifth column in this country which is actively engaged in the attempt to see the defeat of America and the west in this fight against barbarism. And just as in those days, the fight is to be found on television, radio and in the newspapers.

But unlike yesterday, the fight is also taking place in the chatrooms, blogs and message boards of the Internet as well as the e-mail messages which regular folk send back and forth across cyberspace. This time around, the playing field is a bit more even and those on the side of freedom can get their message out as well. And the message is that we can win, we should win, and that we have every moral right to win. With luck, the American voters will agree.
