Another Jacksonian!

The very intelligent and eloquent Victor Davis Hanson has a new article on Pajamas Media.

Here is the money quote:

I also confess, at this point I have a very reductionist, very Jacksonian view now of Americans in Iraq: America went in for the right purposes, conducted itself with honor and humanity, was still good when it was not perfect; and can leave something far better than what it found—if it will make the necessary adjustments, as in all of its past wars, and persevere. 130,000 took us at our word and are in harm’s way as a result. So I don’t care much to refight the argument over who was smart and who stupid—only how best to support out troops and ensure they win at the least possible cost.

I am glad to see we share being Jacksonians, although he seems to be apologizing for it. Don't be ashamed Mr. Hanson, more feel that way than you may think.
