Why America Won't Fight Wars to Win
There's an enlightened piece that came out a few months ago, which explains why America can't seem to find the moral center to fight a truly engaged, decisive war. We wussed out in Vietnam, and left our allies to the communists. We tried to fight a sterile air war in Bosnia, with dubious results. We embarrassed ourselves when we tucked tail and ran in that backwater of all backwaters, Somalia. Some would say that retreat alone led to the escalation of the global terror war.
As I reread this article, by Shelby Steele in the Wall Street Opinion Journal from May 2006, I realized that he was spot-on in his analysis. Maybe our leadership, from Congress to the Joint Chiefs should read this, and purge the politically correct policies that have stifled our ability to defend our culture. The White House already has the proper attitude. Now we can start winning wars again.
