Mark Steyn has an excellent post up on The Corner.
He notes that "the national-security right is a shrinking club because America has
proven an ineffectual intervenor."
"In Afghanistan, the Taliban support a
bigoted, misogynist sharia state run by theocrats with ties to global
terrorism, whereas America and its allies support a bigoted, misogynist
sharia state run by duplicitous kleptocrats with ties to druglords and
pederasts."
"That’s not a distinction worth twelve years of blood and
treasure, and it has discredited the broader cause and its impositions
on the home front. The Taliban will soon enough be back in Kabul, but
Americans will be shuffling shoeless through the airports of Cleveland
and Des Moines unto the end of time."

Speaking of which: here's a nice little piece about your security superiors from the TSA.
