In his Whitehall speech, Mr. Bush continued his recent (and welcome) effort to focus on the battle of ideas behind the war on terror. In this he echoed Prime Minister Tony Blair's words to the U.S. Congress in July: "Our ultimate weapon is not our guns but our beliefs." Mr. Bush's Administration--his Pentagon--has been more effective at killing and disrupting the terrorists than his State Department has been at promoting an alternative vision to the Mideast status quo. Mr. Bush is now taking up the latter task himself, and without moral apology.

Kudos to the WSJ Staff!

An excellent review of an historic speech.

I was so glad I was able to hear the President and Prime Minister speak yesterday morning because, with the exception of Brit Hume, every channel all night long was obsessing over a wierdo entertainer.

His critics have yet to offer anything close to a competing vision.

The vision of MoveOn, ANSWER, ACT, the Nine Mondales, the french, Kofi Asinine et al is that of Neville's Nellies:

We'll feed the crocodile in hopes he'll eat us last.
