Practice what you preach

Washington Monthly, Dec, 2005 by Charles Peters

The Washington Post's Peter Carlson has a great idea for the neocons who got us into the Iraq war and continue to exhort our forces to keep fighting and not 'cut and run.' Carlson's advice: Follow the example of Theodore Roosevelt who, having advocated the Spanish-American War, forsook his comfortable civilian life to join in the fight, organizing a regiment called the Rough Riders.

Carlson suggests the neocons call themselves the Tough Talkers.
