MORE ANTITHESIS...

Charles Krauthammer is a great columnist and pundit who I stopped following closely a couple of years ago when he came out in favor of reparations! I found that hard to believe and have had difficulty paying attention to him since because it is such a silly idea. Pay reparations to the slaves progeny? Maybe to the slaves, if any were alive, but not the progeny! A subject for another day.

"Three Cheers for the Bush Doctrine" by Mr. Krauthammer is the finest explanation of why the actions of the U.S. since the invasion of Afghanistan have unleashed the quest for democracy around the world. It will be a long struggle, and may not develop exactly the way we would like, but it is only happening because of W! A good read!

WORD FOR THE DAY: diffident

HINT: "W is certainly not diffident regarding the Middle East."
