We are at war. America faces an existential threat. This is not, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi has claimed, a "situation to be solved." It would be nice if we could wake up tomorrow and say, as Sen. Barack Obama suggested at a Jan. 11 hearing, "Enough is enough." Wishing doesn't make it so. We will have to fight these terrorists to the death somewhere, sometime. We can't negotiate with them or "solve" their jihad. If we quit in Iraq now, we must get ready for a harder, longer, more deadly struggle later.

We are at war and wishing doesn't make it go away
A good column by Liz Cheney (V.P.'s daughter) about how the battles in Iraq are only part of a bigger war and if we decide that we can just walk away, we'll only have to face the Islamo-facists elsewhere, perhaps here at home.
