On a national scale, the belief system or ideology of the American Left that "Everyone is entitled to his or her point of view, that in general, one person's opinion is as good as another's, that all questions are open questions" is a highly destructive social force that threatens the well-being of society, especially in times of crisis. In past wars (except in the case of the Vietnam War) individuals holding these and similar views were suppressed because people were in better contact with themselves, their survival instincts were more intact. They would have had no difficulty in identifying the life-inimical nature of the Islamic fanatics of today. The degree of core contact of many people, especially of those on the political Left, is dangerously weak. Hence they are simply unable to recognize the enormous danger posed by the Islamic black fascist threat.

What is needed is a special effort directed from the highest governmental level to counteract the distortions disseminated by the Islamic world and to expose the true motive of the Islamic fanatics. American broadcasting to the Islamic world must be greatly expanded and intensified, as news not as propaganda. Preposterous charges such as blaming the Israelis for September 11th should not go unanswered. Western news media must be made aware of and prevented from disseminating pro-fundamentalist propaganda in America and in other non-Islamic countries. This information is highly inflammatory and excites the political Left to agitate for an end to America's defensive efforts. The war against the ideological component of the emotional plague attack against America must be waged as effectively as the military component. To this end a governmental agency must be established whose function is to publicize and respond to national and international manifestations of the emotional plague.

Drastic measures?
