Victor Hanson writes well of our war efforts and our troops fighting our war:
So by all means investigate Haditha. Try and convict any who broke the rules of war, and sullied the honor of the U.S. Marine Corps.
But please spare us the scripted outrage that is simply cheap cover for wanting Iraq to end as Vietnam, as there appear ten stories on Haditha for every one about either an American victory over terrorists or help for Iraqi civilians. Any true moralist who cares for the Iraqi people should pray that this war doesn’t devolve into helicopters on the embassy roof—followed by the old predictable liberal silence when the real killing begins.
Like I've said:
Punish the guilty. Support the rest. Win the war.
Is this that difficult for some of us to do?
