I wonder how the Europeans may be forced to decide. Especially given the widespread resistance in the populations. Even allied british Blair and spanish Aznar and had millions on the street against the war. Blair is still in trouble because of that judicial inquiry concerning Dr Kelly who had committed suicide after he had been named as the source for a BBC report which said Mr Blair's aides had "sexed up" the case for war in Iraq.

Most of EUrope is still locked in appeasement mode, proving they're incapable of learning from their mistakes. They won't choose to fight unless they are being attacked. As for the population: millions around the world protested. Billions did not.

As for Blair and Kelly, the BBC and their little lying thug Andrew Gilligan didn't come off smelling like roses. Not all of Blair's problems stem from Kelly or the war. The economy has a lot to do with it too.

when the europeans begin to die at the hands of terrorists, thier decision wont be far off.

Whose War?

Selected quotes from An End To Evil that should concern any patriotic conservative:

We ought to learn a lesson from the most effective anticrime program the United States has ever seen: Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's crack down in New York. Giuliani's core insight was this: People who break one law will break other laws. You want to catch a guy who's skipped out on a manslaughter arrest warrant? Stop every turnstile jumper and inspect his ID. You want to find the killer who left his fingerprints on a knife that stabbed a kid to death yesterday? Scan the fingerprints of everybody you catch smoking marijuana in the park today. (pg 68)

And there is only one system that will do the job: a national identity card that registers the bearer's name and biometric data, like fingerprints or retinal scans or DNA, and that indicates whether the bearer is a citizen, a permanent resident, or a temporary resident... (pg 70)

We may be so eager to protect the right to dissent that we lose sight of the difference between dissent and subversion... (pg 74)

A free society is not an unpoliced society. A free society is a self-policed society. (pg 77)

But even a nation of laws must understand the limits of legalism. Between 1861 and 1865, the government of the United States took tens of thousands of American citizens prisoner and detained them for years without letting any one of them see a lawyer. (pg 229)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am really leery of Richard Perle and his buddies. There is nothing conservative about that lot and the "liberal" approach to military aggression they advocate. Those guys are dangerous. We'd all be better serve if they were pushed out of the sphere of influence in Republican politics.

How to win the war on terror? Hey easy one. Use the same techniques we used to Win the War on Poverty, Win the War on Drugs, Win the War on Smut. All we have to do is fail to define victory and increase Washington bureauracy endlessly because there is no light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime check the status of the alert flag to see the score of the game.

>> manifesto

Geez, I personally have never found a positive way of using this word ... how is it that I think that this so-called manifesto doesn't go far enough?
