Happy Cyrus Day
The excellent website, American Thinker, published an article yesterday that should not go without notice: Happy Cyrus Day should be brought to the attention of all, especially self indulgent postmodern thinkers, relativists, and peace loving surrender types. I believe the message is multi faceted, but one undeniable point is that Peace Through Strength worked 2500 years ago and will still work today. We marked a prime example yesterday, of note also because of the ancestry of Cyrus the Great.
The solution to the problematic Middle East presented itself then and could work today, if we could only wade through the rising tide of failure oriented, politically motivated, self serving bureaucrats, understand the cultural obstacles we face and focus our energy on properly targeted solutions. We could argue endlessly about the viability of a solution rooted in simple acknowledgment of human nature and a show of strength. My argument is that we ignore history and unchanging human nature to our own detriment.
