On the recordApril 2, 2003
I want to quote this morning from an article by Mona Charen, ``War and Psychology,'' in which she says: `` `War never solves anything.' So say dozens of callers to C-SPAN all day long and left-leaning radio programs.'' ``The answer to this argument, if you can call it an argument, could almost fit on a bumper sticker. Apart from securing American independence, ending slavery, and defeating Nazism and Communism, `war has never solved anything,' so the liberals say. ``Anti-war activists tell us that Iraq is a distraction from the more important war against global terrorism. This argument has been dealt a serious blow by the capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.'' Frankly, Mr. Speaker, war does solve many things; but we have to win them, and this one we will win.
