Putting the Boot to Defeatism

From Max Boot:

This is not meant to suggest that everything is wonderful in Iraq. The situation remains grim in many respects. But the most disheartening indicator of all is simply the American public's loss of confidence in the war effort. Abu Musab Zarqawi may be losing on the Arab street (his own family has disowned him), but he's winning on Main Street. And, as the Vietnam War showed, defeatism on the home front can become self-fulfilling.

This comports with the testimony I have heard from a local attorney who was recently back from a tour in Tikrit and what I hear via his parents from an Army Captain. Can we please get off the defeatism?
