The importance of the media, the advantages of conscription, and the dangers of being too weak minded to pull a trigger. A fantastic piece from the Chicago Sun-Times' Mark Steyn.

Our enemies understand "why we fight" and where the fight is. They know that in the greater scheme of things the mosques of Jakarta and Amsterdam and Toronto and Dearborn are more important territory than the Sunni Triangle. The U.S. military is the best-equipped and best-trained in the world. But it's not enough, it never has been and it never will be.
