Several months ago I wrote a rather long, somewhat overwrought response to a question about the War on Terror that had been asked of me by a liberal friend: Can we win?

But there was a corollary to that conclusion as well, one I left unspoken. One I did not choose to even think upon, so close were we to the results of a national election which had hinged upon the war itself – an election in which a majority of Americans appeared to validate a war president’s choices in taking his country to war.
The question was this: Could we lose?
My original post was written in mid-January, and predates but was in spiritual accordance with these words from the President’s second inaugural address:
