Andrew McCarthy Expains Why We Should Not Talk With Terrorists

Andrew McCarthy has written a fine essay in the National Review Online entitled, "Can We Talk?"

I highly recommend that you read it. It exposes the Bush administration's failure to address the "fundamental" reality of the enemy we face in the woefully misnamed "War on Terrorism."

If you want to see the conflict in Iraq and our darkening relationships with Syria and Iran in a new and improved light, please read this article. It is gloomy but honest and, I believe, accurate. If we do not face up to and accept the reality of our "enemy" for who he is we will never defeat him.

And, if we do not defeat him, we will have defeated ourselves.
