Hadley Arkes for National Review

Hadley Arkes for National Review Online notes that Colin Powell has “put himself through one of the priciest ventures in adult education as he was sandbagged last week by the French, and discovered that his scheme of working through the United Nations was not only a path leading nowhere, but a path leading off course.” Arkes recommends that President Bush give a “Sam Spade” style State of the Union address, to the effect that, since Al Qaeda has killed, and continue primarily to target, Americans, we are the ones who must do something about it.
