The London Bombings

Of course everyone will take from the bombings in London the “lessons” they’re already seeking. The left claims that the bombings show the war in Iraq is producing the terror instead of fighting it, as though attacks on Muslims (so their logic goes) are of concern to the terrorists. Saddam and the terrorists have killed a hundred times more Muslims than American forces. Moreover, American forces have saved millions of Muslim lives in Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, Afghanistan and, yes, in Iraq. This is not a war about America’s treatment of Muslims and never was.

The left never understood the Iraq war in the first place, so it can’t really be expected to understand the war in Europe now. The Islamic jihad against the West, for which Iraq is but one very important battlefield, did not begin in 2003 with the toppling of Saddam. It is rooted in a radical movement that arose in Egypt in the 1920s – the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose "little red book" was the Koran, as interpreted by by Hassan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb and eventually the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeni, the leader of the first revolutionary Islamic state.

The LEft is used to 'winning' on it's re-writes of history. . .it lies; it's spin. They have made 9/ll the war benchmark - and one not in our favor; no matter what.

More Repubs; who get the media attention and 'face-time' had better start educating themselves to the truth and countering the Left's rhetoric.

Having good poll numbers for W does not substitute for having the truth of the matter be told. . .again and again. . .

W could go here as well. . .we need a mantra of truth; if only in soundbites. . .

That said, appreciate DH and the numerous 'et als' who do have an audience.
