Exactly. This is where we could greatly improve our war on terrorism. We need to unite with the Russians, the Serbs, and
the Israelis ( well we may have already done this), and everyone else who is fighting these same scum, and take off the gloves.

You are obviously a Liberal, a communist, a traitor, and a Red Diaper Doper Baby. I say this because you did not make a point, so you resort to name calling. Liberal always do this, when they loose and argument and can thing of nothing to say they throw out insults. This also means you have lost and have no class. It is like a bad looser turning over the game table when they realize they are not going to win. Shows that you are immature, and have never grown up.

We're going to win either way:

1. Either we will be successful in Iraq and provide an example to the Islamic world of what a pleasant time one can have on this earth living in peace and pursuing one's happiness; or

2. We lose Iraq, adopt a policy of appeasement, embolden militant Islam and eventually suffer a significant stike (most likely a pocket nuke) to either NYC or DC anywhere from 10-100 years from now. In that case, 9-11 becomes more like the Lusitania and the new strike becomes our 'true' Pearl Harbor. Once that occurs, martial law is imposed, large scale internment camps are erected and all pretenses regarding Islam as a 'religion of peace' are finally discarded.

People may claim that the West has gone soft, but inside, we are all descendents of the same people who committed 10s of millions of people to die in Europe for what they believed were just causes. We haven't even come close to that level of resolve...yet. But it's still there deep inside each and everyone one of us.

Btw, Serge speaks perfect English and I think has a phD. You have a problem with the fact that he is Serbian?

Yes, I am a raging, pinch-testacled racist. I hate everyone who is not a beer swilling, hammock napping, ball cap-wearing good ol' boy. *sarcasm off*

What the article says is that we were naive; it then spends way too much time saying we haven't changed.

Yep. Prostitution. Ask your mother.

The reason I asked, and it's funny you should mention that, is that prostitution is supposed to be the oldest profession, while most people would suspect that class C fireworks were not only the oldest profession but the ONLY profession in SC, and that SCers hadn't even gotten as far as prostitution yet.

I mean Serbia produces high quality firearms and automobiles and SC produces class C fireworks, and YOU're making fun of THEM for the way they spell??

The majority of Western governments refuse to recognize that this conflict with the Islamo-terrorists is a RELIGIOUS War. Islam is not a religion of peace and recruiting new and fervent terrorists is as easy as asking for volunteers at the local Mosque, i.e., the recruits leap at the chance.

Contrary to Ms. Rice's testimony, we are still swatting at flies. The followers of Islam see this as a sacred battle against the great Satan, and Satan is doing little to stop the Jihad. The only thing that will get these petulant, deadly children's attention is a bombastic wallop on the backside. Obliterate Qum, Mecca and Takrit, and then look them dead in the eye and say, "your move." Any bets as to whether this will give them pause to reconsider? The next bombing of a rail station, WTC, or school bus and we obliterate 3 more cities and shrines. At some point this religion of Islam (submission) and its followers will get the message.

Remember the words of the Prophet, "If your enemy spits in your face, slap him; if he strikes you kill him; if he threatens your family, kill him, his family and his tribe."

I'm going to get a reputation around here if I don't quit trying to stop fights among people who simply seem to misunderstand the rules of genial discourse.

"Exactly. When our back is to the wall, we will destroy what we must, even if it is whole cities."

Right. And the sadness of it is that we have to await until after another "unthinkable" event -- one that will dwarf 9-11...

Duly noted, Old Professor. Tough time @ work and I am forgetting the significance of this day.

WHY IS THE WEST LOSING THE WAR ON TERROR? is thoughtful.

The West has been losing the will to suvive. Islam is fighting the 'war' with it's choice of weapons - demographics, immigration and time. Where do we go from here?

Peter F. Drucker in Management Challenges of the 21th Century [1999] - "The most important single new certainty - if only because there is no precedent for it in all of history - is the collapsing birthrate in the developed world."

Buchanan in The Death of the West [2002] - "The West is dying. Its nations have ceased to reproduce " ---

"Why is this happening? Socialism, the beatific vision of European intellectuals for generations, is one reason....By freeing husbands, wives, and children of family responsibilities, European socialists have eliminated the need for families." ..."But if Europe wishes to keep its present ratio of 4.8 workers for every senior, Europe must bring in 1.4 billion emigrants from Africa and the Middle East." ....

"The pill is the suicide tablet of the West. "Contraception halted the population growth of the West with abortion as the second line of defense against the unwanted child."

our liberal media keeps forcing us to RESPECT other people' faith, we never question how can a faith calls for violence against innocents, and be RESPECTED

Unless that faith is Christianity!

Ahhhhh, irony. Delicious.

Liberal always do this, when they loose and argument and can thing of nothing to say they throw out insults.

You're a liberal, then?

This also means you have lost and have no class.

Irony again -- but it's the same dish as before, and getting stale.

It is like a bad looser turning over the game table when they realize they are not going to win. Shows that you are immature, and have never grown up.

Wow. There must not have been any milk in your Wheaties this morning.

a squadron of B-52's flying wing to wing and doing what they do best would end all this in short order.

Of course, we can't kill anyone that doesn't need killing, but who is to determine who is not going to send their kid out with as much c-4 and he/she can carry?

Lots of folks would love to vacation at Lake Iraq, Lake Iran, Lake Syria or Lake Saudi. Build some nice hotels, resorts and casinos....Think of all the row crops Israel could grow with 4 very deep fresh water lakes in the region.
