The Corner

Cleft Sticks

Key essay by Stanley

Kurtz, who is worth ten average pundits, on NRO today. Stanley points out

something just dawning on a lot of Americans–how LONELY this fight is going

to be. Name almost any country in the world: there are strong reasons of

interest for them NOT joining us in the coming fight. If we fight, we fight

alone. If we don’t fight, sooner or later we shall lose a city. We are in

a cleft stick. This is a truly horrible situation.
