To Muslims in the heyday of Barbary piracy, there were, at least in principle, only two forces at play in the world: the Dar al-Islam, or House of Islam, and the Dar al-Harb, or House of War. The House of Islam meant Muslim governance and the unrivaled authority of the sharia, Islam’s complex system of holy law. The House of War was simply everything that fell outside of the House of Islam — that area of the globe not under Muslim authority, where the infidel ruled. For Muslims, these two houses were perpetually at war — at least until mankind should finally embrace Allah and his teachings as revealed through his prophet, Mohammed.So now we know why it's lovingly referred to as The Religion of Peace.
In other words, it's genetic, starting in Biblical times and the tribes of Abraham...All the more reason to exterminate the bastards.
I happened to see the beginning of Delta Force last night...and one other movie about two young punks, one played by that half rate actor Martin Sheen, who terrorize a train load of passengers for two hours, (must have been some non-stop New York to Montreal route...as it took for ever.)
The symbolism was there, that in the face terror, whether it be a Hitler, Saddam Husein, or the neighborhood bully, some will fight back...others with fight among them selves...
If you don't have a clear idea of what you would do, if you were in the same situation as in those movies, then buddy...you better ask someone....
We now have a president whom I suspect knows more than we do about the global threat, and has a clear mandate to protect us..Despite the fact that he has a house and senate full of cowards and appeasers from both sides.
The idea of retreat sickens me.

Interesting article. I just finished reading Truman by McCullough. I had heard the George Bush identified with Truman and Churchill. Truman esp. reminded me of our president. Truman had integrity and did what he believed was the right and honorable thing to do. He had very low poll numbers and paid them no heed. He asked what would Jesus have done with poll numbers. My only criticism of President Bush is that he is too busy doing the right thing to worry about public relations. Oh, and Truman usually went to bed before 10. :-)
