Victor Davis Hanson writes at NRO:
Reading about Gettysburg, Okinawa, Choisun, Hue, and Mogadishu is often to wonder how such soldiers did what they did. Yet never has America asked its youth to fight under such a cultural, political, and tactical paradox as in Iraq, as bizarre a mission as it is lethal. And never has the American military—especially the U.S. Army and Marines—in this, the supposedly most cynical and affluent age of our nation, performed so well.
According to the AP (courtesy of Breitbart.com), Mexican President Vicente Fox says that walls aren’t going to fix our illegal immigration problem. While el presidente is certainly correct that more is required, advice from him on this issue is a bit like asking your crack dealer how to kick the habit. Actually, that may be a more apt metaphor than I intended, but that’s idle speculation for another day.
It reminds me distinctly of Osama bin Laden pointedly declaring on one of his tapes that the Patriot Act and other security measures we’ve taken have nothing to do with why there’ve been no more successful attacks on American soil.
Pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain!
