Unfortunately 9/11 wasn't enough to fully wake the sleeping giant.

Early on in the Iraqi war I read on FR that our ROE severely constrained our troops' response to incoming fire from Mosques. That's when I first heard the little whisper that we were unwilling to do what it takes to win.

I'm getting tired of our men serving as popup targets for filthy barbarians.

"Arab intellectuals"

I had to laugh when I caught that phrase, what an oxymoron.

Sharia Law is very democratic...
Democracy is Mob Rule.. Tribal law by a consortium of tribes..
What a tribe is... varys.. from place to place.. but basically a its a gang.. Islam is more of a GANG than it is a religion..

True of other democracys too.. i.e. Canada and European countrys..

And as America is slowly morphed into being a democracy from a republic the same is happening here too..

Yes, I agree democracy always faces the danger of becoming another form of despotism. Actually, the danger of democratic despotism was the reason we have three branches of government, a Constitution and recognition of the people and states as governing bodies.
