Unlike you and President Bush, myself and those who think like I think do not pretend that the 1.3 billion Muslims in the world subscribe to an ideology that can peacefully coexist with the rest of us. Sooner or later, Westerners WILL own up to the fact that confronting the Islamic advance is a mere matter of physical survival, and when that day comes, I will take no pleasure in being among those who can say, "I told you so" (assuming I'm among the survivors of the moment of truth).
It is true that Muslims are not, as individuals, responsible for the violent ideology into which they were born. It is arguable that they, even more so than those murdered in the WTC attacks and the Christian dhimmis living under them, are themselves its victims.
It is also true that not every German civilian was to blame for the horrors the Nazi regime inflicted upon the rest of Europe. Yet in the process of annihilating the military power of Naziism, the Allied forces never hesitated to carpet-bomb the whole country and kill civilians in the crossfire. Nor were they unwilling to drop nuclear bombs on thousands of women and children in order to prevent the loss of at least a million U.S. soldiers in a bloody land battle in Japan. And what other choices did they have? As Ann Coulter said, "That's war. And this is war."
Well said.
