Wow a number of interesting items today, none of which really seemed to justify their own post, so here you go. I\’m gonna do this Glenn Reynolds style.

Eventually, by 1945, allied armies had both Germany and Japan retreating. What would have happened if we had had Kofi Anan and the mushy mindset called \”world opinion\” at work then?

The whole \”Chicken Hawk\” slur?? Destroyed here.

You don\’t need medical training to express an opinion on healthcare. You don\’t have to be on the police force to comment on matters of law and order. You don\’t have to be a parent or a teacher or a graduate to be heard on the educational controversies of the day. You don\’t have to be a journalist to comment on this or any other column.

And whether you have fought for your country or never had that honor, you have every right to weigh in on questions of war and peace. Those who cackle “Chicken hawk!\” are not making an argument. They are merely trying to stifle one, and deserve to be ignored.

Amen
