Well CNN , NBC and the NY Times have stories out...check the Karbala keyword...oh and Drudge has a little item....
I wrote Drudge too! This is good.
I hope you both have been following the thread here relating to an article in the LA Times that asserts that 9/11 really wasn't that big a deal after all, and we just massively overreacted to it.
I can't imagine what it will take to wake people up. And frankly, I think their first response now would be simply to surrender. Maybe I underestimate my fellow citizens, but over the last five years, I think somehow the consensus has shifted and people feel that it probably wouldn't be that bad to be under an Islamic regime, or at any rate, anything would be better than fighting back.
Agreed. I don't know that most of the population here would willingly submit to islamic law. Liberals would in the ultimate act of guilt and cultural suicide, but I think most Americans would fight back.
On the other hand, most of America, as you pointed out, would rather just 'not fight back'. Apathy is going to kill a lot of people. We've been so feminized that conflict is now totally verboten, under any circumstances. We simply MUST talk things things out...
The explosives are coming from Iran, which orders the explosives from our "Friends", the Russians and the Chinese.
