Give War a Chance

The young wife and father of one of the Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah were in Chicago yesterday, bringing the war home to Americans. Story in the Sun Times and Tribune.

And via RCP, Vin Suprynowicz:

The defeatists cry that "Nothing can be accomplished by violence; war only breeds more terrorists who will fight forever."

Really? Sixty years later, is America still under attack by the aggrieved suicide-belted grandchildren of the Germans and Japanese whose cities we flattened and burned to rubble in '44 and '45?

No. Because wars usually do resolve these issues -- if one side is allowed to fight to a decisive victory. It's just that the pink petticoat gang shriek hysterically and threaten to faint dead away when confronted with the reality of how real wars really end.

The "peace process" is an inhuman, stop and go war. Let's give a decisive war a chance.
