W. POST "No courage" is "no victory"

I rarely write about Op-ed, but the last column from George F. Will about how the dems are behaving is quite worth of mention from a Blog that is proud to tie laces with some solid opinions.

Mr. Will speaks on how irresponsible is from the democrats to attack foreign policy in a moment of war. Of course, it's a non-conventional war, but a war nonetheless. So why those Democrats need to criticise President Bush’s strategy? In one word: elections.

Elections are pretty much like wars: you either win, or you get rammed by. And in the case of Democrats, a party comparable only to a nest of angry vipers, it’s the more you yell, the more attention you get. At least for those candidates that don’t stand a chance. On earlier posts I set my wager on Hillary, maybe Obama (but not likely). Looking at the facts, I have to renew it: no one else but H & O.

But coming to the Foreign Policy, I wanted to say that Bush has not certainly an easy scenario on his desk. Iraq’s a mess. Always been, but with Iran supporting each side of the sides at war, you can only imagine. And all that to try to detour the attention from its ongoing nuclear program, that hasn’t stopped no matter how heat they get on the neck. I am a guy that believes that those Persians are hiding something. The sooner they’re stopped, the better.

North Korea is an easier threat in the end: the only thing you need is bribery, as its leader is corrupt as one of those stereotypic 80s dictators. But be careful: you’ve got to feed him like a lion in the Roman circus: little by little and making him believe he’s the guy in charge.
