If We Had Unity

The Washington Times (free sub.) says national unity is vital if we are to win The War on Terror. I couldn't agree more:

If we had national unity, we could quickly make up for any current military manpower shortages...

If we had national unity, we would not have a prominent national leader and Marine veteran such as Rep. John Murtha advising our young men and women not to join the military.

If we had national unity, government employees and the major media would not think it their patriotic duty to leak or publish classified war secrets...

If we had national unity, Congress and the president could be motivated and able to set spending priorities.

Without unity, what happens?

Most damaging of all, America's loud, nasty and publicly displayed disunity heartens our enemies around the world — as well it should.

Powerline says hate is the source of our disunity.
