Its all in black and white.....all the things the Democrats are against...spying..listening to calls...money transfers....caught these terrorists....we won..this time....but there are more...unfortunately....
It will be interesting to hear Ted Lamont explain this....
To: SJackson
She does understand what is going on. This is as much a critical stand for freedom, tolerance and human rights as was the battle against Hitler and the Nazis.

50 million Muslims liberated. 2 State sponsors of Terrorism destroyed. NO major significant successful attack since 09-11-01. (Madrid and London do not come anywhere near 9-11 in level of carnage) Jihad is NOT winning. A dozen or so attacks foiled before they can be carried out.
Any Columnist stupid enough to say "Jihad is wining" is has NO clue what she is talking about.

To measure the sucsess of a terror attack in bodycount is a mistake. There arent 50million islamo-facists liberated from anything Iraq is out of control because Bush faltered
and failed to address the two countries introducing the
terrorists into Iraq.

I wonder if it would make any difference to the enthusiasm for jihad if those we caught were tortured to death, very slowly, on live TV, in unspeakably cruel and agonizing ways, after being well contaminated with bacon grease and thus forever barred from the glories of Paradise. Flayed alive, boiled in oil, made to drink molten lead, etc.
I'm not saying we should do such a beastly thing, I'm just curious if it would work.

Actually, I think she's right.
It would seem that the answer to this question is found in the increased cultural weakness of the two states leading the war against radical Islam: the US and Britain. In both countries, for the past two years the forces of leftist radicalism and appeasement have been on the rise. Both countries' leaders are hated by ever larger swathes of their countrymen for their stand on the war against jihad...
The Muslims who have been "liberated" are under attack by more radical Muslims (which is the habitual pattern in the Islamic world), while the Dems scream for us to run away and let them kill each other; the carnage of various bombings may not have been Hiroshima size, but it's been steady and demoralizing; and while we have stopped many attacks, they keep planning more. I don't think they're winning - yet. But if the Dems and in fact the worldwide left manages to get Bush and Blair to back down, or replaces them in the next elections with appeasers, I would say jihad is going to count some significant victories.
And as she says, what happens in Lebanon and the response of Israel is vitally important, because they are sort of the lab where jihad is trying out its techniques and guaging responses.
At some point, the response of the part of our population that does not want to be attacked, destroyed or enslaved will come into play, and we will probably drive Islam back finally at that time. I don't think they're going to win ultimately, but we've got to keep on fighting.

Perhaps if you were living in Israel, watching the failure of leadership in your country, you might think differently.

There is one point I have to disagree, about the defeat of Sen Joe Leiberman in the Tuesday primary, the good news is that he is going to run as an independent. What have happened in the last day is two things, the USA has gone conservitive once again and that Sen Joe has been handed an indirect victory because people in CT know where he stands on terrorism.

My take on this article is that we are in the darkest time before start of dawn. We all have to all hang in there during the worse of the times.

But there are no shortcuts in this war, this existential war that in many respects we brought on ourselves by attempting to disengage from the reality of our surroundings. This applies to all of western culture not just Israel.

It is a very good article, I wonder how many what percent of the Left in America are in fact Jewish.
does anyone here have numbers on the makeup of the left in the US with those figures? I know it is a well known fact the percent of the left that are black.
