"It was hard for the Islamic fascists to find ideological support in the West, given their agenda of gender apartheid, homophobia, religious persecution, racial hatred, fundamentalism, polygamy, and primordial barbarism."

I have an argument with this. There are far too many modifiers in this sentence. The sentence should read "It was hard for the Islamic fascists to find ideological suppoirt in the West given their agenda of primordial barbarism."

We have known about Islam for many centuries. We'll all be better off when we allow ourselves to recognize that and act accordingly.

That's why we're in Iraq.

I was about to post this one. This is the latest Victor Davis Hansen article on the war. Double-posted at FR already but the other one is excerpted and the full article is here.

He, once again, articulates the overt and less obvious nuances of the direction of America's and the West's war against Islamic terrorism. A must read.

Oh, and Bush? FOUR MORE YEARS!

I've been thinking about the solution to the kidnapping and execution of Americans for a while and today it hit me.
For every American kidnapped and executed, we will take
ten al quida members in our custody and harvest their
internal organs, their eyes will make infidels see,
their hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys will make infidels
live, their skin will be grown and used to cover the bomb scars caused by their shahida, and they themselves will never die all of a piece. So long virgins.

I would even put it about that science has come up with a way to take the smallest scraps of a homabombers remains
and use them to grow new organs to be transplanted into
Israeli victims. NO VIRGINS FOR YOU!

Am I too crazed?
Or am I too crazed for the Sitzkrieg?

Bwahahahahah!

Maybe a cold shower and some sleep, or just some cheese....

I have been waiting for some conservative pundit on TV or radio since 9/11 to ask one of these bleeding heart liberals to answer the question

How many more dead American civilians do you want to see?

If 3000 wasn't enough for Afganistan and Iraq would 30,000 be enough, how about 300,000.

How many dead Americans would it take for them to approve of going straight to the heart of darkness and ripping it out?

Several thousand would probably get their attention. Equally likely, attacks that threaten us all, bombings at shopping centers, restaurants, trains, buses, even with more limited casualties.

Of course once the left's attention is focused, you shouldn't assume you'll like their solutions. Likely more appeasement.

In exchange for our not retaliating in any meaningful way against the killers...Hezbollah, al Qaeda, and their various state-sanctioned kindred operatives agreed to keep the number killed to reasonable levels.

Excellent article. I just sent a letter to the WH regarding the latest kidnapping. We've got to start responding and making the Muslim terrorists - and, unforunately, the ignorant populations that support them - realize that this is no longer permissible.

They're kidnapping and killing Americans in the Middle East now. Having gotten away with it for several years, soon they'll be kidnapping and killing us in Europe, as well. Unless we respond, they will achieve their goal of making the world unsafe for Americans. (Or for non-Muslims, ultimately.)

Although the name is very familiar
I regret to say
I don't know who is Victor Davis Hanson.
Is he someone famous?
