If we lose the WOT (and we may), we will have been defeated from within. Perhaps all great civilizations do eventually collapse.

She answered: "Truthfully, what I miss the most is the anger." I do too.

Not a day goes by when I cannot see those people jumping, burning, to their deaths. When I do not think of the Flight Attendants who's throats were cut with Box cutters. The Children tortured and murdered in Beslan. And not Dick Durbin nor Teddy Kennedy, nor Jane Fonda nor the banSheehan herself will ever make that anger leave me. For those who will not, or cannot, understand, I will make it real simple. These people do NOT have ANY desire to co-exist with you. They want you dead. You can either die, covert or kill them. It is just that simple. You want to fight with Bush and the Republicans? Fine do it on DOMESTIC issues. But all Durbin, Newsweek, Kennedy and Fonda et al. are doing is getting my brothers and sisters killed. Dirty little secret they will never tell you. Iraq had to be done. 2000 President "Al Gore", we would STILL be in Iraq right now. There was NO other possible strategic choice. NONE. We could not leave Saddam unfought on our flank and take on another mission. We simply had let the Military run down too far in the 1990s. Saddam had to go. The simple fact is the world IS a better place with that bastard, and his sons, out of power. Iraq IS working. So hang up all you 60s flash backs and get the FU&^ out of the way. Go back to worrying about Global Warming or the Rain Forest or what ever but get OUT OF THE WAY.

I haven't read any B. B. in a long time....this piece needs wide exposure.

I especially like:

"We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

and..

We need to get up off the couch and tell Muslims that whatever pain they feel, it is not from British or U.S. wrongdoing; indeed, ours has been more their liberation and their medicine than their enslavement and affliction.

Thanks

fewer students have just a basic understanding of American history than have a basic understanding of any other subject which we test

Well, if the test is about slavery, Wounded Knee, Jim Crow, the Japanese internment and My Lai, they'll pass it--those are the main topics taught judging by the briefbacks received from my kids. Heavy de-programming required.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.  (I stopped keeping separate ping lists for David Warren and Lee Harris. I'll ping to their articles when warranted through this list. )

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
