Quote of the day – Daniel Henninger

We ought to be a lot prouder of our troops coming home from Iraq than we are showing this week. They deserve a monument. That war wasn’t just about helping Iraq. It was about us. The march across the nuclear threshold by lunatic regimes is a clear and present danger. The sacrifice made by the United States in Iraq took one of these nuclear-obsessed madmen [Saddam Hussein] off the table and gave the world more margin to deal with the threat that remains, if the world’s leadership is up to it. A big if.   Daniel Henninger/WSJ
