Jingoism is So Rad

Bing West's article in this week's National Review is titled "Do or Die in Iraq." There's no link to it on NR's web page, but after reading the introductory blurb in the print edition's table of contents, I don't think I need to read any further. Check out this jingoism....it's vainglooooooooooorious:

"The streets outside the Green Zone are controlled by killers whose souls have been corroded, and who will continue to murder, because that's what they do. They're not going to be won over by jobs cleaning streets or promises of oil-revenue sharing. Like the mafia, they have tasted power and they're not giving it back. They have to be put down, in jail or in the earth." WHOA!

[EDITOR'S NOTE: My idea of a good time is searching thesaurus.com for good adjectives. For this post, I chose "vainglorious," but there were so many other tasty options. Check them out for yourself.]
