Indeed, as one watches U.S. armed forces struggle against Sunni insurgents, Shia militias and Jihadists in Iraq, and a resurgent Taliban, all invoking Allah, Victor Hugo's words return to mind: No army is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

The idea whose time has come is freedom! Mr. Buchanan.

The jihadists are recycling the same tired fanaticism from 700 years ago which is why their civilization is and will continue to be, void of any culturally advancing principles.

The masses read the koran and live sharia...when the jihadists destroy the Jews they will come after the Europeans, when the Europeans are destroyed they will come after the Americans, then the Chinese, and finally when all the infidels are destroyed they will go after each other. We are not the side that is losing Mr. Buchanan, islam is already bankrupt.

Oh yeah? "Freedom" of PR slogans and nation building?

The jihadists are recycling the same tired fanaticism from 700 years ago which is why their civilization is and will continue to be, void of any culturally advancing principles.

In matters of survival it does not help if your civilization has "culturally advancing principles" like gay marriage. It matters how many children will you have and how strongly you adhere to your own religion.
