Year end is always a good time to review. And this has been a year with lots to consider. I seemed like for every action there was an equal and opposite reaction. Consider:
The Dems ran everyone in the primaries only to chose the original frontrunner to lose to Bush.
The Yankees and Cards blitzed the regular season only to lose to Boston (Boston?).
Michael Moore got (and gave) the hype, but Gibson stole the show.
Liberal groups spent a fortune to defeat the Prez but W won by 3 million votes. And increased the Rep's lead in Congress.
Reagan died but so did Arafat.
Democracy can't be exported but Afghanistan and Ukraine voted and Iraq will on Jan. 30.
The MSM lied continually to the public but were outed by the Blogosphere.
America stayed the course and will prevail while old Europe dithers and declines.
2004 opened with much hope and ended with a tsunami that killed thousands.
Quite an eventful year. And 2005 looks to be more of the same. It should be interesting. It could offer challenges but also hope. It may prove to be the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning, to quote Churchill.
In any case it will be up to us to face it with courage, optimism and hope. It is the only choice we have. It's how we are built. And it's how we move ahead.
Happy New Year.
