The WSJ has stayed out of this directly but I am seeing an article a day now in their Opinion Journal (and they usually only run 3 each day)

Is it this piece?

This was actually a blog from a few days ago. It is very well written and probably my favorite piece so far on the politics and culture of this issue.

I am very pleased to see The Wall Street Journal pick it up as an editorial. I think that says a lot about the changing media and the influence of blogs.

If you have not read this piece, please do yourself a favor and do so.

Mr. Jacobs has made a wonderful contribution to this discussion.

Like many of you, I missed this one when it was originally printed. However, now that I have had a chance to read the whole thing, my opinion is that it is the best editorial I've seen to date.

If someone would make an ad featuring Jim Warner's experience as a POW, it would be the death-knell for the Kerry campaign. How could Kerry refute it?

An absolute must read.

This isn't about politics.

To some degree John Kerry had every right to take the actions that he did when he returned home. However, as most know, with rights come responsibilities. Since he chose to step over the line and remain unrepentant about it, he must be prepared to bear the responsibility for his actions. He can't honestly expect people to just give him a pass now because he feels that it's his turn to be president.

American's are the most forgiving people on earth...to a point. John Kerry went past the point of forgiveness, has chosen to remain there, and thus has no one to blame but himself for the predicament he's now in.

You reap what you sow.
