holdfast

Buck up. Live up to your moniker. We still have more friends than we commonly give credence. Additionally, some still have to make up their minds. Putin has, although I do not know to what effect. China has not weighed in yet. Northern Europe, other than the Dutch, have not woken to the problem yet. France is … well … France. Eastern Europe are on our side.

We have not yet gotten ourselves organized on a global basis for this fight. It will not take too much more (Madrid, Malaysia, Beslan) for there to be a call to address this globally (not the U.N.)

The whole world is waiting for us to finish these elections and show our intentions. It is excusable, on their parts, as the internationalists among us have been saying that Bush will be defeated and our policies will change.

With that behind us, the world’s leaders (excepting Chirac) can get on with real committed actions.

Holdfast.
