This is an important article by the great Angelo Codevilla that was posted a while ago (twice!) on Free Republic but didn't seem to garner much attention at the time.
So, I thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention, after it was brought to mine by Freeper "ProtectOurFreedom" on a previous thread. It deserves (and already has) it's own thread, here.
FYI. H/T for the link on the other thread.
