Excellent reading. Thanks for posting.

Regarding Lincoln's travails during the Civil War - he did have to go through several Union Commanders until he finally settled on Grant. I hope and pray we have the right commanders in the right place at the start of this. Pray for President Bush and all of our commanders and troops.

<sarcasm> How can you have any doubts of this, baseballmom, given the outstanding job Clinton did of building up a strong military, especially choosing strong leaders who understood the Art of War? </sarcasm>

I just finished Paul Johnsons book " A History of the American People"... freepers, this is a MUST READ. This Brit has got it right. Keep an ear out for his opinions on global politics, he sees the big picture.
