If I were an anti-war leftie, I'd be very depressed by the Iraq anniversary protests. A few hundred people show up hither and yon to see Cindy Sheehan get arrested for the 15th time that week, or Charlie Sheen unveil his critically acclaimed the-World-Trade-Center-was-a-controlled-explosion conspiracy theory. The "Hot Shots! Part Deux" star is apparently an expert in that field, and he'd never seen commercial property break up that quickly since Heidi Fleiss' hooker ring. Anyway, Susan Sarandon's going to play Cindy in the movie, or maybe she's playing Charlie, or both -- either way, they might as well give her the Oscar during the opening titles.

We can not defeat an enemy whose name we are afraid to even whisper.
I wish someone... anyone... in DC was as in-touch with the reality of this issue as Steyn is.
I see it as letting the moderates have a chance to prove themselves, as well as trying to not have to take on all 1.2 billion at once.
That said, the possibility that we will need to do so remains open.
This whole thing would be much easier if the Western media weren't so multiculturally/politically correct, and were willing to take on the evil aspects of (radical?) Islam - violent jihad, dhimmitude, subjugation of women, etc. And if the mythical moderate Islamics would step up to the plate and prove themselves by controlling their radicals.
You are correct, I knew we were in trouble when they made
us change the name of the opening battle from:
"Infinite Justice" to what ever it was changed to, because
it offended those who murdered 3000 American citizens. That
was just the beginning of the PC butt munching of the damn
Islamofacists.......I HATE IT
Ping.
Gotta love the Aussies!
I'm sure Charlie was much more concerned about Heidi Weiss' property interests than the WTC.

Somebody ought to tell Charlie the Sex Addict that he is an infidel, too.

I think they've had their chance and done absolutely nothing. The only real attacks on islam are coming from ex-muslims like Wafa Sultan, Hirsi Ali, Ali Sina, et al.
If the world is afraid to publish cartoons of mohammed, how much more afraid are the moderate muslims who know the depravity of jihad?
Unfortunately, what the west and the world needs is a leader of Churchillian voice and character who will define the enemy clearly and honestly, and will devise and implement a long-term strategy for its defeat.
Having said that we need a long-term strategy, let me add that we also desperately need a short-term strategy for dealing with the acquisition of nuclear weapons by islamic countries. The world cannot endure the possession of world splitting weapons in the hands of a population of pure psychopaths. If we don't stop this affair, it is over!
