"In the process, he has done much to nurture the delusion that the war is simply the folly of a deranged President and his greedy acolytes, rather than a deeply-rooted global crisis and the defining challenge of our time. At precisely the moment that the horizons of Western electorates should be broadening, they are narrowing dangerously. The debate has grown perilously introspective: on both sides of the Atlantic, the war on terror is in danger of becoming just another sub-category of domestic politics.

Moore is the most powerful spokesman of the myth that gripped the Spanish people when they elected Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero as their Prime Minister in the wake of the Madrid bombing: namely, that if we oust specific politicians from office - replace Bush with Kerry, Blair with Brown - the Islamic fundamentalists will leave us alone. It is, of course, psychologically reassuring for voters to be told that they have this power, that there is something quick and clean they can do about their collective predicament. But it is also a fantasy. The theocratic guerrillas of al-Qaeda and its associates who, it emerged last week, were planning to bomb a British primary school in Madrid and, on Friday, promised fresh attacks in Europe, will not be appeased by any number of political scalps. Their ambitions for the world are much greater and more terrifying.

These are the things that can keep you up at night. Sometimes I wish I lived in the fantasy world of the left, just so I could sleep better at night. Ah, that's it, vote Bush out and most of this nastiness will go away. More and more people seem to be moving into a state of pure delusion. I keep asking myself, "Do people really believe if they get rid of Bush (Blair etc.), Islamic terror will go away?" It seems so - Europe definitly seems to be deluded in this way and more and more Americans seem to be convincing themselves it's all W's fault and they can take care of this terror problem in the November elections. No wonder Moore's propaganda film has become so popular. Its a world of pure fantasy.

My friend, America, as we know it, is about to disappear! Mr. Moore, Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Franken, etc. are afloat in money at the moment. But in a short period of time they will be without their heads! They are not really to blame, however. It is the American people that will vote away their freedom and lives!
