[Petronski]

Adm. Woolsey is wrong.

[An Old Man]

"Adm. Woolsey refers to the Cold War as WWIII and this war as WWIV. Take your pick."

I was involved in the cold war. Are you and the Adm. trying to rewrite history?

It is being ignored by the media.....

However....

The press is the propaganda arm of the American left and they have an agenda...see this:

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left

[Yogafist]

Nations are still aligning for what will become world war III. Unfortunately, the US is showing we don’t have the resilience to go the distance. Who wants to join a losing team?

[Melinda]

Because for so many people, denial is a permanent state of mind.

I hate to rain on Halevy's panic parade, but he's delusional if he thinks a dirty bomb will kill tens of thousands. The most pessimistic information I could find indicated a tenth that. He's much more accurate on the deaths caused by a fully functioning 1 kiloton nuke, though. NRC.gov

Halevy, who was raised in war-time London, predicted it would take at least 25 years before the battle against Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is won and during this time a nuclear strike by Islamic militants was likely.

A sobering comment....but that may be what it takes to wake up many!

[Right Slant]

Perhaps "war" is the wrong analogy, since as the Islamists themselves said, Muslim immigration to Europe is one of their most important tools to achieve dominance. By 2050, if France or Germany has a Muslim majority, they will have won those countries without having to commit a single terrorist act.

Perhaps the right analogy is "infestation." You may not even notice you've got an infestation of termites in your house until one day you start to notice your house is starting to collapse all around you. Termites have so weakened the wooden elements that by the time you notice it, it can't be fixed without drastic measures.

The radical Muslims aren't conquering Europe in the traditional sense, they're infesting it, all the while gnawing away at the structures and bonds that bind European civilization together.

"If it is so obvious why are so many people in denial?"

Americans during WWII were aware that they were in a fight for their existence, and had the Nazi nuclear community not screwed up, things would have been quite different.

Today, people are deluded into thinking war is about the rule of law and fair play. It's a nice concept for a JAG sitting behind a computer screen in DC. Put them in a life or death situation and the only law that is of concern is the one that deals with survival of the fittest (unfortunately, that law is out of site and out of mind for Mall goers).

[WoofDog123]

compared to WWI and WWII, hot wars with major military mobilizations within all involved countries and active invasions/combat along said borders with monstrous casualties and devastation (especially WWII), it really is hard to say the cold war was a similar thing rather than a decades-long stated of armed readiness with periodic proxy wars in far-away places. This so even if an admiral thinks otherwise.

I don't what to live with 25 years of Islamic BS so lets end this war quickly by destroying the problem. Destroy all Islamic holy places.

Islam the religion in pieces.

You get my award as the most insightful comment as of 3:54 pm, Jan. 27, 2007.

Yeah, but not many are calling it.

World War III has already begun, says Israeli spy chief

Suffice to say that I agree.
The modern notion that something horrible must happen before a threat is eliminated, is a positive development of "civilized man" with which I violently disagree.
Even the notion can exist only because most people know that the odds of personally being touched by atrocities is millions to one against.

Small comfort to the actual victims, unnecessarily killed so that we can feel "more civilized".

"... Today, people are deluded into thinking war is about the rule of law ..."

Herakles, I think with that statement we have a winner. Most of the people in our country can not comprehend what will happen if the events now taking shape in the middle east come to fruition.

Good analysis.
