Another convert to the GWOT!

I predict, as the 2008 campaign barrels on, many Democrat candidates for President will attempt to tie America's GWOT around the neck of outgoing President Bush, implying that this whole war thingy is a result of Republican/neocon/Bushistic foreign policy foolishness. Indeed, John Edwards already has denied that we're in a GWOT.

Here's a great op/ed about a seeming recent convert to the war against radical Islam.("Jihad in Britain" -- OpinionJournal):
"Most Britons understand that terrorists wage war on them and their freedoms--and are not, per the fashionable left, voicing opposition to British policy in their own way.

. . . .

On Thursday, his first full day in office, the Prime Minister sought to distance himself from just-retired Tony Blair's unpopular commitment to the 'global war on terror' by unveiling a cabinet with prominent Blair critics. But Mr. Brown appears to be a quick study. Yesterday, in an interview with the BBC, he was nothing if not resolute: 'We will not yield, we will not be intimidated, and we will not allow anyone to undermine our British way of life.' Welcome to the fight."

Freedom isn't free but Bush's stupidity has been all too costly.

The UK now knows how costly.

Creating terrorists and hate is not productive, and America is suffering.

I guess you're right . . . maybe we deserve to be killed by Jihadists.
