Yes, the conventional wisdom saw an attack on Iran in short order. Even the sagacious Spengler, despite reservations of the President's intellectual firepower, saw an attack coming in August, with a fallback plan calling for a strike prior to the mid-term election. Well, it didn't happen and it isn't going to happen. We must learn to live with that.<BR/><BR/>For the second time in my life, the United States will be defeated by academics, political carpetbaggers, and effete dilettantes who lust for office, absent the skills or intellect to use power. <BR/><BR/>Real leadership competent enough to handle war is rare. Men like Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt are sui generis. While I look to 2008 for some indication of such a personality rising to public attention, I am not hopeful. Therefore, unless and until such a leader comes forward, we will just have to muddle through, perhaps slouching toward Gomorrah.allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798524644256471907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1162672674852830272006-11-04T15:37:00.000-05:002006-11-04T15:37:00.000-05:00You all can be sure that the publication of an edi...You all can be sure that the publication of an editorial by the most conservative publication in the world, demanding Mr. Rumsfeld's resignaton, would lead to its being branded as tainted by the true believers.
