Another Christmas break has come and gone without anything unusual occurring. That is, nothing unusual relative to the times. I mean, sure, two Iraqi children were killed by "militants" who machine-gunned their family's car. Around 125 Shi'ite pilgrims were blown to pieces by "insurgents" in Karbala. In Indonesia, Jemaah Islamiyah "rebels" beheaded three schoolgirls. "Separatists" beheaded two more civilians in southern Thailand. And Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, aside from banning all Western music and a few domestic newspapers, declared that Israel should be "wiped off the map."
Like I said, nothing unusual.
One way to explain these phenomena is that the terrorists are really CIA agents tasked with perpetuating the war on terror so Bush can use oil profits in order to bribe Fox News to lead the media blackout concerning the landing strip being built by Halliburton in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge for gay Martians to land at and, in collusion with Zionists, secretly control the planet from underground bunkers in Crawford. I'll leave it to the chaps of Leaflet Division at International Socialist to fill you in on the details.
A more likely explanation is that the Iraq War has nothing to do with the atrocities being committed worldwide on anybody who isn't a Wahhabi extremist. This past month, terrorist networks were broken up in Germany, Spain, and France, all countries which steadfastly oppose U.S. intervention in Iraq. Michael Moore, in a truly rare moment of insight, once pointed out that the 9/11 terrorists, by attacking liberal cities, most likely killed many more Democrats than Republicans. Exactly. The term "infidel" applies to Kerry voters and European Yank-bashers as well. As Hizballah leader Hussein Massawi once summed it up, "We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you."
Lets hypothetically assume the jihadists and the extreme left together achieve their goals. The U.S. military is crushed in Iraq. Israel is nuked. Al-Qaeda establishes a caliphate stretching from Morocco to the Philippines. America crumbles from a capitalist superpower into a cradle-to-grave welfare state. Now what? Now that the mean ol' warmongering neo-con cowboys are gone, will bin Laden accept the olive branch offered by Western peace movements? Al-Qaeda considers Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Shi'ites, Druze, and moderate Sunnis as infidels worthy of decapitation. How likely, then, would ragtag groups of bongo-beating, impulse-driven atheists would make bin Laden's A-list?
If it ever came down to a final clash of civilizations between the jihadists and the anti-war crowd, I'm putting my money on the jihadists. It's hard to imagine legions of third-world, battle-hardened fanatics being outfought by a conglomerate of metrosexuals who can't go half a day without another Starbucks fix. While the peaceniks smother the jihadists with love, the jihadists will smother the peaceniks with blankets of bomb shrapnel which can penetrate even the loudest cries of, "Oh my gawd, like, I didn't even vote for Bush!" Holding in front of you a hardcover copy of Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" will stop an AK-47 barrage for only so long before 7.62mm bullets begin tearing through your internal organs, not to mention your brand new Che shirt.
Realize that al-Qaeda wants us dead regardless of our political affiliations or our personal views on the merits of the Iraq War. For all the miscalculations the Bush administration has made in Iraq, it has still kept the battle off American soil. If the U.S. military loses, as some campus activists openly hope for, there will be nobody to protect them when RPG rounds start slamming into their film festivals.
...flying black helicopters!
Excellent find.
Nice post - but I'm sure that film festival attendees won't get it.
I'm sure many in the Left would find it "no problem" to line up for such duty if it came to that.
...;-)
No they won't. The left has a vested interest in the United States losing this war. Having the war "come home" would signify a failure of the military option.
I look forward to reading more of Christopher's writing.
THAT was perfect!! Unfortuantely, the only one's who will read past the first sentence are people who already know this.... But, I loved it anyway... Great find, SV
What a vision this guy paints -- in the end -- if Al Qaida wins all of the lefties are in hiding in Cuba picking sugar cane -- and studying the Koran.
Outstanding
The truly sad part is that a lot of the film festival attendees DO "get it". Never underestimate the nihilism of the hard left.
A significant number of the Bawbwa Streisands, Mickey Moores, and Howie Deanies of the world WANT our society to be utterly destroyed so it can be remade in their own image. They think that somehow, as the annointed ones, all of the icky dying and suffering stuff that will take place while our nation is being destroyed, will passover them and they don't give a rats patootie about the rest of us.
After all, we've brought this upon ourselves, right?
LMAO!!!
"...if Al Qaida wins all of the lefties are in hiding in Cuba picking sugar cane -- and studying the Koran."
Exactly. All those atheist, leftists will become devoted muslims faster than you can say "Che sucks".
The author wastes his words. The left is simply unable to see see it. They do not live in the real world and, accordingly, lack the ability to think anywhere beyond two seconds in advance. To be sure, they THINKL they are visionaries who see a way to long lasting eutopian peace where we all just "get along." What they will never, ever, ever understand is that: 1)evil exists; 2) evil just is, well, evil; and 3) you cannot have peace if you simply capitulate to evil.
To wit, the left believes that if we stop fighting the other side will as well. Its just that simple. (And they say we conservatives think in black and white) In the end, if we stop fighting, that is it, evil wins and it won't stop until we are all living under a islamo facisist regime (the latest incarnation of evil on this earth). I suppose the left is ok with that, however, because failing to accept evil they probably believe they will just be able to hit the streets en masse and shout "no justice, no peace" to bring about peaceful change to the islamo facisit regime. But, as the author stated so well, it won't sink in that they are dealing with evil and evil does not cut deals until the bullets, flame throwers and explosives hit the million idiot march.
In reality, the amoral left will be the first ones the muzzie fundies would eliminate.
In a perfect world they would somehow be the only victims - even at this stage of the struggle.
