You wouldn’t know it from the press coverage, but today is the 68th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Following that attack, Americans came together and defeated the totalitarian evils threatening our nation. Decades later, our sons and daughters are once again defending our freedom in far-flung corners of the globe against another totalitarian threat – the evil of Islamofascism.

We didn’t win World War II with half-measures, politically correct tactics or discussions about deadlines for withdrawal. Victory was our only goal. And we had pre-conditions for talks with our enemies – their unconditional surrender. If Obama wants to model his presidency after FDR, he should start by overcoming his unease with the concept of victory.
