Actually, he isn't. There a none so blind as those who refuse to see.

I agree.........this scenario, while a bit over the top, is exactly the thing our gov't could let happen. I am actually worried about the end of Ramadan, this Friday! Top taliban have already telegraphed that something big will happen, and have warned muslims to leave the US. The American Al qaeda from California has also said we must convert to islam or be destroyed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they are just idle threats, but to minimize the threat that radical islam presents is a fool's game. Nuclear weapons proliferation is ushering in a new era, and I for one, am not confident that our country can protect us from this threat.

The failure of many Americans, including many of the leading Democrats in Congress, and some Republicans, to fully appreciate the persistent, long-term threat posed to America's liberties and survival, and to the future of Liberal Democracies everywhere, by an Islamic Resistance Movement that envisions a world dominated and defined by an Islamic Caliphate of religious totalitarianism, and which will fight any war, make any sacrifice, suffer any hardship, and pay any price to achieve it, may prove to be the kind of blunder upon which the fate of America turns, and falls.

Very true words...and when one contemplates the Red Chinese and their complicity (IMHO) in the current geo-political situation with every current and potential belligerent we face, the news only becomes bleaker.

We need a Ronald Reagan and the will of the American people to call the evil empires what they are and stand up to them now, both econimcally (even if it hurts) and militarily.

Otherwise, some drastic scenario will befall us at a time and a place of our enemy's choosing. Either one like this (which BTW could never happen without Red China's knowledge and consent IMHO), or a more conventional one like the one I have posited.
