A Thought From T.R.

"It is not the critic who counts; ant the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so the his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

We live in troubled times. There are two choices: act or bitch. The United States and Israel act. Europe bitches. If the Islamists win Europe will be kissing the dagger that holds a knife to its throat. If the U.S. and Israel win Europe will bitch. That's what the Europeans do -- bite the helping hand and kiss the whip.
