Quote of the Click
In Iraq today we have a responsibility to do what is strategically and morally right for our nation over the long term -- not what appears easier in the short term. The daily scenes of death and destruction are heartbreaking and infuriating. But there is no better strategic and moral alternative for America than standing with the moderate Iraqis until the country is stable and they can take over their security. Rather than engaging in hand-wringing, carping or calls for withdrawal, we must summon the vision, will and courage to take the difficult and decisive steps needed for success and, yes, victory in Iraq. That will greatly advance the cause of moderation and freedom throughout the Middle East and protect our security at home.

Help for Katrina Victims and Other News…

While scouting thru the sitemeter logs, I saw a referral from Dawn’s Early Light. I linked over and found a great synopsis of many places to get information on finding missing family members, as well as places to make your donations to…it was nice to see my blog at the top of the blogroll, too…Thank you, Dawn (I assume is your name).

I first found this first person account while reading Black Five. It’s worth your time to read about a man who decided to get off his butt and do something about the devastation along the Gulf Coast. What he did was remarkable in and of itself, but add to that a bad back and a Deuce and a 1/2 with no air conditioning being major parts of the story. The tale tells of the despair, the hope, the thoughtfulness and the bad elements of the human experience. He certainly doesn’t want any accolades, but he deserves them. Read and see through his eyes.
