The Warriors
Just as surely as soldiers are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, there's another war going on, one of ideas. It's a bitter, discouraging war. Oftentimes I think it will be lost; that the subtle shadings of "conventional wisdom" smattered throughout the media establishment will sap America's will to resist the looming threat to civilization. But then I am heartened by the blogosphere, Charles Krauthammer, Andrew Sullivan, Tony Blair, Christopher Hitchens, Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hanson, Fareed Zakaria and the legion of other incredibly bright people who are making the case, day-after-day, for the civilized world to mount an active defense. These people inspire me to update a blog, to e-mail friends, to engage in constructive discussions about politics with friends and to debate ideological foes. For those of us who are not hunting terrorists, this is our role in the fight. And as cheesy as this may sound, the well-known individuals that continue to effectively press this argument with conviction and eloquence are warriors and heroes, make no mistake.

Don't you ever stop bloggin'! I just discovered you through www.instapundit.com, and like what I've read so far. Thanks. As for the day-to-day, you are right; I was having that exact thought as I got on the Subway here in DC yesterday. It's very vulnerable, I can't possibly envision how anyone could stop some individuals with backpacks who might decide to attack the redline on a busy rush hour. I have a very ominous feeling that an attack like this will take place. I certainly keep my eyes open. Posted by: Bill at March 13, 2004 12:04 PMPost a comment
