French prime minister Georges Clemenceau nailed it when he said that war is a series of catastrophes that culminate in victory.
We look back on the wars we won and we fail to see that in almost all cases, the outcome was in doubt until very late in the contest. Peter Wehner draws on the history of the Civil War in this article to illustrate where we stand today in Iraq.
If you have wanted out of Iraq, do you still? If you supported seeing it through, do you still?
YOU TELL ME.

When I was a young man trying to break in to the radio business, one of the biggest radio stations in the country was Dallas's KLIF 1190 AM.
The station was owned by broadcasting pioneer Gordon McLendon. McLendon was known for his sharply-written editorials. Those editorials were, however, a one-way street. There was no practical way for the listener to respond.
But that is no longer the case. With the the advent of the Internet, lectures have turned into dialogues.
That's my hope for this website. I say what's on my mind. You respond by saying what's on yours.
That's why we call it You Tell Me.
