I'm still thinking about this one. While it's true that we've lost the
confidence to really finish what we start, I don't know that I
completely buy Mr. Steele's theory of causation.

My biggest fear as we prepared to go into Iraq the second time was that
we didn't have the balls to run such a place. Mr. Steele certainly
supports that perception.

Readers outside of the US will need one fact about Mr. Steele to
understand the context: he is that rarest of things, a conservative
american black.
