I found this profoundly painful, not beautiful.

Especially the images of the American engineer who was beheaded, (what an ugly, clinical term for grisly murder.) Above the caption [That the creatures who would do this to an American or to any human be removed from the future of the world by any means necessary.]

I have long maintained that it didn't start with us. Long before they killed any of us they killed one of their own.

Anwar Sadat, who was gunned down for daring to make peace with Israel. This was the first indication of the nature of this ugly beast. It has grown over the years. We have fed it - by not opposing it, until it brought down the clearest symbol of capitalism in the western world, The Twin Towers.

Make no mistake about it. This is more than just "cultural differences."

Know why the "Arab" world is so poor? The Koran FORBIDS loans at interest. It is impossible to create businesses because one cannot borrow to create a business. This is an ECONOMIC BATTLE as much as it is an ideological one. Until you understand THAT you can't understand what is happening here.

This isn't about naked girls and MTV, as so many would have you believe. This is about an economic system controlled by government that says where you can work, what business you can own, how much money you can make, how much you must tithe to the church and what you can do in your free time.

I'm afraid we still don't really understand the war that we are engaged in. The communists at least claimed to be rational. Do these people? Is there a modicum of reason among them?
