1.) The appeasers would want to know why we weren't ahead
of the game to stop it.
2.) They would complain and whine that it's because of us
we were attacked again.
Right!
Bet On It!
Re your post 18: I think there is a certain segment (size undetermined) of the U.S. population that is so emotionally and intellectually dead that an atomic bomb erupting in the next city wouldn't wake them up.

Personally, I think that the Capitol was the secondary target....the WH being the first.
In either case....had it made it's target, I do believe that the Blame America First appeasers would have been run out of town on a rail....
Maybe not, sadly.
I just hope and pray that we don't have a repeat performance anytime soon.
There is indeed a huge vacuum of leadership in the world. I believe Bush and Blair and Howard and Harper are doing a great job, but there is still a huge vacuum. Such a vacuum existed at the beginning of WWII (even greater then in the U.K.).
The world is at war and those who occupy the right side (and take the high road) will win in the end.
But I believe islam will put up a really nasty fight before it dies...and it will die because it is a lie. If islam would shut up and go along to get along, it could live. But that doesn't seem possible with islam. Islam seems to believe that it must dominate the world and I don't believe the world is going to accept that.
PETER COSTELLO: What I've said is that this is a country, which is founded on a democracy. According to our Constitution, we have a secular state. Our laws are made by the Australian Parliament. If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you. This is not the kind of country where you would feel comfortable if you were opposed to democracy, parliamentary law, independent courts and so I would say to people who don't feel comfortable with those values there might be other countries where they'd feel more comfortable with their own values or beliefs.
TONY JONES: It sounds like you're inviting Muslims who don't want to integrate to go to another country. Is it as simple as that?
PETER COSTELLO: No. I'm saying if you are thinking of coming to Australia, you ought to know what Australian values are.
TONY JONES: But what about if you're already here and you don't want to integrate?
PETER COSTELLO: Well, I'll come to that in a moment. But there are some clerics who have been quoted as saying they recognise two laws. They recognise Australian law and Sharia law. There's only one law in Australia, it's the Australian law. For those coming to Australia, I think we ought to be very clear about that. We expect them to recognise only one law and to observe it.
Now, for those who are born in Australia, I'd make the same point. This is a country which has a Constitution. Under its Constitution, the state is secular. Under its constitution, the law is made by the parliament. Under its Constitution, it's enforced by the judiciary. These are Australian values and they're not going to change and we would expect people, when they come to Australia or if they are born in Australia, to respect those values.
TONY JONES: I take it that if you're a dual citizen and you have the opportunity to leave and you don't like Australian values, you're encouraging them to go away; is that right?
PETER COSTELLO: Well, if you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country which practises it, perhaps then that's a better option.

I see them complaining that the President didn't implement all the 911 reports recommendations. The left wants this treated as a law enforcement issue with federalization of police forces and the whole 9 yards.
I want to play devil's advocate here.
How is Islam going to hit the fan?
Would it be ungracious of me to suggest that the "terrorism" these leaders denounce is whatever Israel and the US do?
I despise that buck toothed, rabbit fearing, assclown.
dar-al-islam
Muslims have problems everywhere they are found.
You can feel it building, the world is getting ready to shout a collective "SHUT UP!"

And we can't wait until alternative energy sources are in place.
