FP: The Left, of course, will be celebrating this attack. Earlier you mentioned George Galloway. He has even called for an alliance between the Left and radical Islam. The likes of Galloway and Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky – all of them will clearly be rubbing their hands in glee because of this attack in London, and, of course, instead of denouncing the terrorists who have taken innocent life, they will be blaming everything on Bush and Blair. This is clearly a pathology like no other. What is your diagnosis of this mordid psychology that permeates the Left?
Radu: The Left will claim that London was targeted because of Iraq. Galloway aside - he is far more sinister - the others are so alienated from their own society and culture that they have built a conceptual prison of their own, from which they cannot escape. What will happen in The Guardian, Independent, perhaps The New York Times, will be a repetition of the same futile search for "root causes" - Palestinians, Iraq, dictatorships in the Muslim world "supported" by the US, etc. No attack anywhere will change that - they seek to fit the square peg of Islamist religious radicalism into the circle of political differences - and fail into irrelevance even further.

Just a thought - we might actually target our real enemy, Saudi Arabia, if we are serious about defeating militant islam and its terror.
Something akin to this -

Diagnose a person who hyperventilates with the anticipation of gaining political advantage when innocent people are murdered?
There is no possible diagnosis, just perplexity. Normal minds cannot understand such depravity.
...?

Have no fear! The answers to the question, What Is To Be Done?, are being prepared at the DNC as we speak. Tune into the Sunday talking and heads and we will have our answers. Sleep well the Democratic Party will protect the world from all future problems with Islamic Fascists if all of us will just take a moment to consider the causes of their anger.
Very good post. I had no idea the French had taken such positive steps against terrorism.
Basically, EVERYTHING we do involving muslim terrorists should involve pigs in one way or another. Those assholes in Gitmo should be sitting in cells surrounded by pigs and food should be in troughs and they should have to oink while eating it, along with the pigs. The ONLY way into a cell without any pigs in it should be providing useful information to the Americans.
When somebody does a suicide bombing, whatever is left of him should be put in a barrel with the body of a pig in public view, and then the barrel buried by a bulldozer with the idiot's ass pointed towards Mecca.
In extreme cases, the terrorist and a pig should be put into a barrel and the barrel dropped into that big green monstrosity in Mecca from 30,000' with the guy's name written on the barrel in English and Arabic so that Allah will KNOW who has caused his "holy" place to be profaned, and all of this broadcast to the world.
Slammites should be forced to give up the little hate schools at which kids grow up learning Koran verses by heart and nothing else. If they refuse to close them, they should be bombed.
The wahhabi influence on Islam in western countries should be terminated immediately. In the US, this would mean the deportation of virtually all islammic religious officials. It should be done immediately. That's assuming you're not going to ban islam in America outright; that would not break my heart either. The US should be put on a war footing immediately and the importation of oil banned outright immediately, along with a maximum push to build refineries and develop all of our offshore and shale oil resources. We'd have one years similar to WW-II with gas rationing, and a year later we'd back to normal with gasoline costing a dollar a gallon. Saudis would be back to riding camels.
[What is your diagnosis of this mordid psychology that permeates the Left?]
They lust for power and materialism and hate those that disagree with thier false premises concerning life and freedom , all this is based on their hatred of the one true God and his Christ.
The left and real Muslims (not MINO's or moderates) have both made a pact with the Devil. The left don't believe in God and will do anything, even align themselves with terrorists, if it means votes and power. And real Muslims do believe in a "god"...but unfortunately for them, their god is pure evil.
"Morbid psychology" = "psychopathology"
Hence, the left and the adherents of True Islam are "psychopaths"...they have no conscience, collectively or individually.
a great interview w/Radu-tx
If anybody gets this far and hasn't yet read the entire article, do yourself a favor and go back and read it.
My kind, too. Let me know when you call up your Battalion. (ll?)
Good post. More people have got to be informed of the muslim phobia of pigs. We have to use it against these sick bastards just like Blackjack Pershing did in the Phillippines. He captured 50, shot 49 and dumped them in a pit with swine carcasses and let the one return to his brethren. That ended the muslim attacks on U.S. soldiers. Forget the PC crap and grind these bastards up with swine guts. This is war and we have got to get serious and pull out the stops and ban the politicians from participation in the decision making process.
>imams coming to France now must speak French;
imagine that! having to learn the language of your adopted country. hmmmmm.
