"a journalism professor at the University of California at Berkeley"

That says it all.

This guy is an idiot of the highest order and the fact that he 'teaches' at Bezerkly and writes for the NY Slimes should be no surprise to anyone with more than two functioning neurons. Maybe this Kalifornia lib-tard should get off his sheltered-in-academia ass and actually go to the middle east and see for himself what life is really like over there.

"Yet what of jihadist expansionism and violence in areas where U.S. power is nowhere in evidence, or historically in centuries before the U.S. was even founded?"

Right. The war against the Fundalmetalists in Algeria cost over 150,000 lives. The US had nothing whatsoever to do with that conflict.

"...they are as self-deceived as Neville Chamberlain was when he returned from his meeting with Herr Hitler in Munich in 1938. But this time, there is as yet no Churchill waiting in the wings."

They are worse. At least, to paraphrase my favorite conservative Ann Coulter, Neville Chamberlain didn't have himself as an example.

(Rules are rules...:)

Maybe he would feel a little more comfortable in this....he is already thinking that way he might as well look the part as well....

I wish I could remember who first pointed this out, but it's actually quite ethnocentric to assume that all thought outside America is simply reaction to America. As if people all over the world sit around with their minds absolutely blank, munching on shoots and leaves, until America does something and they think, "Hey, I don't like that!"

It's all Bush's fault: putting Twin Towers in the way of nice, practicing flying Been Ladinides! Anything to go after them peace loving turbanites!

MSM, just keep hammering: Bush - bad, bad, bad; Clintonette smartest, brightest, kindest, savior of wo-mankind!

Yea, enough already, we "get it"!

Had Danner and his pals been in charge of the nation, they would all be dead. Our enemies that don't really want us dead would have killed them by now.

Apparently Danner is unacquainted with the speeches and writings of such pillars of “fundamentalist Islam” as Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini

There are many conservatives not familiar with Khomeini's work either... It's unfortunate that they don't know it because if they did, what to do about his followers would be easier to discuss.
