Hurrah for Tony Blair! He's having his Churchill moment.

This is the essence of leadership and courage.

Kipling's poem, If, is appropriate today:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:


Now, think about Tom Daschle and remark, "I'm saddened, saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war."

Well, Tom, I'm angered, angered that your party has failed so miserably to stand up for your country against the feckless U.N. and the attempts of the French, Germans and Russians to highjack that organization in order to protect their ties to a hideous dictator.
