...This is a strange war. Our successes in avoiding attack convince some that the real danger has passed. And when we kill jihadists abroad, we are told it is peripheral to the war or only incites more terrorism.
But despite the current efforts at denial, the war against Islamic terrorism remains real and deadly. We can't wish it away until Middle Eastern dictatorships reform - or we end their oil stranglehold over the world economy.
Combined ping to 2 ping lists
Nailed It!
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately on my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott CardLet me know if you want in or out.

Is the War on Terror Over?
No.
Do we still need to fight a war on terror?
Yes
Next question.
Cold as it may sound, the only person I’ve heard who has “nailed it” is Ann Coulter.
“Invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”
Until then, sooner or later, we are going to have to give the Muslims the jihad they so desperately want. And this time, we’ll finish the job.
Finally, for the record, with our open borders & ports, it has been nothing short of miraculous that we haven’t had another terrorist attack since 9/11.
