The New Republic’s Peter Beinart argues that to defeat the “axis of Evil,” the Bush administration must provide aid for nuclear security in the former USSR and (yawn) regulate for better gas mileage here at home.

The first part I agree with. But c’mon, Pete. Anti-SUV arguments? You sound like Bill Maher. I thought we’d moved beyond such nonsense… So what, every time I drive to work in my Jeep, the terrorists will have won? Fine. So long as the prize for first place remains Daisy Cutters, Special Forces potty raids, and Drone-launched missiles, I can be a gracious loser…
