your analogy as ever travis is outstanding...
one problem travis where you said:
"Choose now, moderate muslims. Choose now."

... I think we had this discussion in the weeks an months immediately after 911... and after the pearl butchering video... and the madrid bombings... and the fallujah barbeque party... and the passover bombing... and the murder of the israeli mother with child, and her four little girls... a week or two back...

the problem is... I think moderate islam HAS ALREADY CHOSEN REPEATEDLY.
THE time to chose, passed months if not a year or more ago.
I think they are for their brothers, the more radical elements of the islamic ummah, and against us (silently to avoid exposure and expulsion).

My concern is with the ongoing diatribe of the "moderate islamics are good peace loving people" crowd; and just how long we will be listening to them as event after bloody frigging event continues to unfurl... I think such denial is dangerous (and our destiny as well in the short term).

Like many Americans, I don't remember my history well... how many years did it take from the time we took over for the failed french in vietnam... and the time we began the deforestation project?
15-20 years?
I know you remember, because you were there.
We may not have 15-20 years... if they really have the WMD's in their possession or under significant development.

Time to start FReeping mosques nationwide.

Islamic groups headquarters, CAIR and the such.

No, I wasn't there, VN was a little before my time. But I was old enough to follow it closely, especially the later stages.

I just don't want the "moderate muslims" among us to come bleating "b-b-b-b-ut you never warned us!"

We're warning them. Repeatedly. Clearly. They think we are weak, because we are overly patient and tolerant.

They should ask the Japanese what happens when our patience runs out.
