Can you believe it? It's been three whole weeks, and America still hasn't won its war on terrorism. The enemy must be tougher than first thought, no? Puh-leeze. From the outset, the only sure thing about this war was that Americans would very soon be asked to doubt their leaders - and themselves. Now the news is full of stories speaking of how long and tough the war will be - as if anybody who knew anything ever expected it to be different. Wasn't anyone paying attention when President Bush said last month that this would be a "long struggle" and asked the nation to summon its collective resolve? "This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with a decisive liberation of territory and a swift conclusion," he said in his speech before Congress. "It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago, where no ground troops were used and not a single American was lost in combat." The war's barely started yet. Why, the antiwar Lefties haven't even found a good tub to thump. |
