Good one, "Global Test" is here to stay and Dubya picked up on it immediately. Like a hunting dog on point.

We must determine again to show our enemies just who we can be, and passing a "global test" of approval be damned.

I really liked the closing statement:

We must determine again to show our enemies just who we can be, and passing a "global test" of approval be damned.

"WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?"

The last paragraph is great:

During the early months of World War II, when many felt the nation's war machine was running on empty and anxiety hovered over the land of the free, Life magazine published a cover photograph of a Japanese officer with a scimitar raised to behead a kneeling American flier with a cut that was no less gruesome for its swiftness. The photograph haunted the nation for weeks. There was sadness and anger, but no rebukes of FDR, no cries of despair, no mocking of American soldiers that they were fighting "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." The cruelty of the savagery enraged the grown-ups and fortified the fury that redoubled determination to win the war. We must determine again to show our enemies just who we can be, and passing a "global test" of approval be damned.

As a regular reader of Wes Pruden, I can vouch for this column being the best writing he has ever done. It reveals in stark terms that THIS war is for our very existence. Kerry is the wrong candidate at the wrong time and the wrong place to lead us to victory over evil incarnate. This man is blind to anything but his own lust for power. He MUST be defeated.

Thanks for the ping to a superbly crafted article that tells it like it is! I know one thing I don't want to be, and that's a citizen of a country led by World Emperor F'n.
