Deserve Victory - Fellow Churchill

Deserve Victory - Fellow Churchill buff Elder, from Fraters Libertas, sends this:

I just wanted to let you know that we've created some bumper stickers (hopefully lawn signs are next) to counter the anti-war Left and the "No War With Iraq" signs which I'm sure you've grown as tired of seeing as we have. Our slogan is simple; "Deserve Victory!" and is borrowed from one of the greatest war leaders of all time, Winston Churchill.

Check it out and send in your order.

Of course, a Churchill quote is a quick route to the "A" list of my attention span. The Fraters run this one - surely a classic:

Last time I saw it all coming and cried aloud to my own fellow-countrymen and to the world, but no one paid any attention. Up till the year 1933 or even 1935, Germany might have been saved from the awful fate which has overtaken her and we might all have been spared the miseries Hitler let loose upon mankind. There never was a war in all history easier to prevent by timely action than the one which has just desolated such great areas of the globe.

If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

We cannot guarantee victory, but only deserve it.

And pass the word.
