We are witnessing a radical change in the world's landscape, a much-needed honesty that will soon curtail both the deceitful rhetoric and hypocritical behavior that have insidiously warped us all in the West during the last 20 years. -Victor Davis Hanson

Let us all hope that the "honesty" is really here this time.. I respect Hansons reasoned opinions.. But lack his faith in politicians honor. -tpaine

Politicians will not change their basic nature, and diplomacy will ever by fraught with ambiguity. A better environment for honest dealings with more honorable regimes is being created by, first, the fall of the Soviet Union and, now, the beginnings of the fall of Middle East fascists.

We must continue hacking away the terrorist Hydra in the Sunni Triangle,

Great article, but I have to take issue with this line... one does not defeat the Hydra by continuing to hack at it!! More creative alternatives must be sought.

Anyone for taking Hillary's snake-haired head in a burlap bag out to the Middle East? I'm sure turning them to stone would be a solution. Heh-heh-heh.

(IIRC, Hercules defeated the Hydra with the help of Iolaus, who basically cauterized the wounds as Hercules made them.)

Anyone for taking Hillary's snake-haired head in a burlap bag out to * the Middle East?

* Middle East...Capitol Hill, restroom in Union station, bottom of the ocean...(we're bad, lol).

Kidding, DU tin foilers.
