Buy This Book. NOW.

America Alone by Mark Steyn is probably the most important book you'll read this year. The fact that it's also one of the funniest and most enjoyable to read is a happy coincidence.

The reason I say to read it right now, as opposed to saving it for a quiet weekend in front of the fire, is because Steyn's book is the perfect anecdote to the nitwits currently gloating over the bad news and dead bodies in Iraq.

Steyn lays out how hopeless the "let's hide under the bed and wait for the Islamists to go away" strategy is. Read this book, and you'll realize just how much we have to lose in Iraq.

It's a lot more than a GOP election.
