The debate has already started about putting the National Guard on the southern border. From what I have heard so far, the President's proposal will not satisfy Conservatives, but I will keep an open mind as I watch the President's address tonight.
Meanwhile, Conservative Christians are loudly proclaiming their unhappiness with the President and the GOP. If they stay home in November, you can bank on a Democratic victory.
In Britain, it appears Tony Blair is just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
James Carroll uses the Titanic analogy for America in general.
Michael Barone also analyzes the current political situation in America and Britain, which he says is still dominated by the legacies of Reagan and Thatcher.
Susan Estrich says there is one man who can stop Hillary....Al Gore. If that is the best the Democrats can do, I foresee a sunny '08 for the GOP.
Ralph Peters urges the administration to talk to Tehran. I couldn't agree more. Since, in my opinion, we should not attack Iran without the backing of the American people, we should exhaust all other options, including direct talks. Peters also points out that our intelligence picture of Iran is woefully inadequate. Direct talks will help us gather intelligence, as well as providing a public relations picture of a reasonable U.S. trying to find a peaceful solution to issues of concern to the international community. If the Iranians act like the certifiable lunatics that we have seen in the past few months, then so much the better.

Hillary wins in 08'. Bush has blown it with the majority of the American people over the border issue. Whats the point of having troops down there with no arrest powers? Oh well, at least they can monitor the situation some more with remote spy planes, laser beams and satellites that count the number of nose hairs when you look up at the mid day sun. At least we will get a real head count of the millions pouring into the country instead of the under estimated numbers reported now. We defend other countries borders all around the world you would think we could start with our own. Try crossing into Mexico from Guatemala, if your lucky they won't shoot you.
