When we look at the world to discover the names and numbers of our enemies, we can quickly name The Terrorists. We are at war with a stateless enemy called Al Queda, an enemy that has many faces in many places. It is easy to correctly place the tag of enemy on these multifaceted terrorists.
But from there, beyond the Terrorists, if we were to try to develop a top 10 or top 5 enemies list, who would be on the list? What group or nation is enough of a threat to actually be called an enemy? Does any nation actually have the ability and the will to come to America or even elsewhere to draw blood?
France, of course not. Although not an ally or even a friend, there is no will even though there is AntiAmerican sentiment.
Russia? Not there either. Some old men may spin plots against America in the middle of their sleepless nights, but those are just dreams.
China? Too much money. The leaders are too busy building businesses to bite the hand providing a market.
North Korea? Now we're getting somewhere. There seems to be ability, but no will. Bullies are cowards and in this case likely fear annihilation as retribution.
Iran? Mad Mullahs cling to power by cursing the Great Satan. They prefer to rant and equivocate and egg on Al Queda. Serious enemy potential but danger will come from their surrogates, the terrorists
Mexico? Hmmmm... No military threat, but we may have been invaded and Mexican cabinet leaders may think their invading hoards need more forceful political backing. Enemy might be too strong to describe Mexico.
Well maybe there are no other real external enemies of consequence.
Perhaps it is wise to look inward. Is there an enemy within?
Well, yes there is. There is one very strong entity that repeatedly gives aid and comfort to our greatest external enemy, the terrorists. By opposing the death and destruction and the winning of the war, and by taking the side of our enemy on grounds that ultimately are resolved into leftist Political Correctness, The New York Times has taken on the role of Enemy of the Republic.
If the adage "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a truism, the converse must also be true. "The friend of my enemy is my enemy". The ungrateful New York Times has demonstrated friendship with our terrorist enemies by opposing their destruction. The Times is therefore the enemy. The Times is a collection of minions who work for a publisher. The publisher is Arthur Sulzberger Jr. The enemy of America is Arthur Sulzberger Jr.
There is no right to yell fire in a crowded theater. There is no right to free press that aids and comforts blood enemies.
