The Ft. Hood Hero: Who is Kimberly Munley?: PHOTO
The west side of Killeen, Texas is like countless other places in America's heartland, freshly carved out of prairie pastures with wide streets in bucolic neighborhoods like "Sunflower Estates" and "Bridgewood."

Hood, victims of a gunman whose deadly attack was stopped thanks to a petite, long-haired blonde mom from the neigborhood.

Thursday’s shooting rampage at Fort Hood was just the latest example of how there really is no front line for US Troops these days; Iraq and Afghanistan are entirely battlefields.

Yes, it's also clear the war in Iraq, the financial crisis, and Katrina have not discredited all Republicans for all time. But we have not yet ruled out the possibility that Obama will realign American politics and serve as the liberals' anti-Reagan. Reagan's popularity went pretty low in his first term; his...
