I am heartened by the intelligent expressions of dissent I have been reading the past few days from conservative critics of the administration's foreign policy. Not the typical critics on the anti-war, anti-Israel Right like Buchanan and Novak, but folks like George Will, Senator Pat Roberts, Congressman Henry Hyde, and the like.

There is still time for the administration to correct its strategic mistakes, win the Iraq War, and benefit the overall war against Radical Islam. My hope is that the increasing cry from the Right will force the administration to move in this direction, and wrest control of United States foreign policy back from the Trotskyite ideologues who spend their days masturbating to fantasies of World War IV, or whatever Roman numeral they've worked their way up to by this point.

We are at a critical point in the history of American conservatism. We can let it die, and cede the philosophical movement -- as we have already ceded the Republican party -- to a bunch of Old Leftists who happen to like fighting wars (or, more accurately, they like it when OTHER PEOPLE fight wars on their behalf), or we can fight back. This week has convinced me the neocons haven't fully won yet.

Captain Dave is right that we have internal enemies as well as external ones. And we must fight them too. In my view, he fails to realize that we have two sets of internal enemies -- Leftist nihilists who hate Western civilization, and Jacobins who hate history and wish to replace it with the propositions enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. The nihilists, the Jacobins, and the Islamists must ALL be stopped. It's a tough task that will likely fail, but as Americans calling on our can-do spirit, we have to give it a shot.
