Finally, the president again appealed for bipartisan support for this crucial fight for the future. Senator Joe Lieberman is leading the way, and his re-election now appears even more important than we realized at the time. Democrats of good will and serious purpose need to join him in the new effort to keep the war from becoming a partisan football.
It was a good speech, and it sounds like a good strategy. The sacrifice it requires of the men and women in uniform will be high.
Perhaps as one response, you can consider supporting SemperFiFund.org, SoldiersAngels.com or FisherHouse.org. Each reaches out to support the soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines that have fought this war and will continue to fight it. That would be the best response to the recognition that they are going to carry a still heavier burden in the months ahead.
