It is always about having the will!
Thank you Hugh for The Bridge and The Fence where you point out the difference between something where people or governments have the will to do something, the I35 bridge and where that will is lacking as in border control. I have long held that it is a lack of will that keeps us from doing hard things and that lack of will, or more importantly, those who have that lack which must be confronted and defeated.
Other examples are those of oil shortages and high gas prices; our lack of will to aggressively drill where oil exist such as Alaska or off the coast of several states and our restrictions on refining contribute to these shortages and resulting prices. The oil is there, but our lack of will to go get it causes our inconvenience. The lack of will to succeed would, if allowed, lead to our defeat in Iraq. We have the capacity to prosecute this or any war successfully and only a lack of will can prevent that.
When choosing a leader or when you are the leader, always remember; it is always about having the will!
