Victor Davis Hanson

I read Victor Davis Hanson regularly. Whether you like his writing or deplore it, the man is a thinker.

His latest is up at National Review Online.

We are in a rare period in American political history, in which the battlefield alone will determine the next election, perhaps not seen since 1864. The economy, scandal, social issues, domestic spending, jobs, all these usual criteria and more pale in comparison to what happens in Iraq, where a few thousand brave American soldiers will determine our collective future.

Good stuff.
