Sadly, we have no Winston Churchills evident among us this evening.

And they aren't going to be found among the likes of Howard Dean or John Kerry simply because they are critics of our government.

Winston Churchill did a lot more than criticize Chamberlain without offering any solutions of his own.

When Churchill became prime minister, he was surrounded by defeatists who didn't believe Britain could win a war against Hitler. The labor party, and even some in his own cabinet, were pressuring him to accept "peace" terms that Hitler was offering. Churchill stood firm against the defeatists, vowing that Britain would never surrender to the Nazi's. The rest is history.

If there is any inheritor of Winston Churchill among us today, the closest approximations would be Tony Blair or George W. Bush. Certainly there are no candidates on the democratic left.
