Turns out that you are with us or you are a running dog lackey of the Islamofascist imperialists who intend to kill us and take over our country putting all of our women, even the diesel dykes, into faceless bags.

There really is no middle ground in this one.

Call it the War On Kufir if you prefer. Either way, we are in it whether we want to be or not.

Peace is when BOTH sides stop waging war.

“Who are we to demand or enforce such exclusivity and privilege? Why should our own self-interest take priority over that of all others?” Is this guy crazy? “Who are we”? We are the U.S. and we can make decisions for ourselves as to who we believe will support us and who won’t. It’s as simple as that. We are not and never been followers. We may not have always been right in what we do but we don’t, as American citizens, like other countries trying to tell us what we should or shouldn’t do. I agree with our President, or any of our Presidents, if they want to know who is with us or against us. Lay it out and tell it like it is. Force us to decide and we make make big mistakes but we will decide.

When you say that we are in a "60-plus-year ideological struggle," I assume you are thinking of the start of the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union, allies against Hitler, became bitter rivals for world influence in a nuclear arms race that cast a terrifying shadow on anyone who grew up (as I did) in the 1950s.

You assume incorrectly, you moron. Try 1947 and the formation of Israel, and the ongoing Jihad against the Jews as the start of the "60-plus-year idological struggle."

“Since when did any nation — even America, which I love — become the dictatorial arbiter of morality?”

Since we do not use children and women as shields in combat areas

Since we do not behead captives

Since we do not extort UN monies for purchase of arms while citizens do without

Since we do not strap bombs to ourselves and walk into a crowded school yard

Since we do not intentionally drop poisonous bombs on our own or any people

Tell me when to stop......

We are BETTER THAN THEY ARE BECAUSE WE DO NOT/CANNOT DO WHAT THEY DO!!!!!!!

“Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” — may please the ear with its syntactical symmetries, but it reveals a shockingly simplistic reading of geopolitics”

What is it about this matter that they can’t get their minds around?

If you aren’t with us, you are with them. Simplistic. Very. Muzzlims keep things on the lowest common denominator. They aren’t capable of going beyond. If you aren’t muzzlim, they will convert you or kill you. Simple

Hey, Camille, much of life is simple: lions will eat you, simple. Fire will kill you, simple. Muzzlims will kill you, simple. You cannot negotiate with them, simple. They are a disease, .223 is the cure, simple.

Her complete ignorance of geopolitics is shocking.

Apparently Camille baby is ignorant of our history with this disease. It goes back beyond 60 years. She completely missed what Mr. Randall was saying. What is she wandering around in the Cold War past for? He was talking about our entanglement with muzzlims.

Hey, Camille, who did we fight in the Philippines circa 1920? Bet you don’t know.

The war is with islam. The battle field today is Iraq. Simple.

Yup, I’m just a dumb, uneducated Pollack farmer from the backwash of PA. Got no idea bout that geopolitic stuff.

But I can understand how simple this whole thing really is: Kill them before they kill us. And the fact that we can kill them somewhere other than my back yard, is a real bonus.

I cannot say we lose “For Good”, but your kids will eventually pay a terrible price for this failure.

It may not be immediate, or even 10 years out, but Radical ISlam will evenbtually have to be stopped.

The only question is how many millions of innocents will die because of it.

If we leave Iraq, do we lose for good?

Dear Camille,

Yes.

The two most obvious examples are Japan and Vietnam.

We didn't leave Japan until they had a government that was willing and able to defend Japan and partner with the US in opposing radicalism and terrorism as tools to install tyranny over humans.

We did leave Vietnam and Congress failed to support and resupply the South Vietnamese. Despite heroic efforts the South fell and radical tyranny and genocide were imposed on South East Asia. The reputation of the US was severely damaged, and this is one place that world opinion is worth worrying about.

I must confess I don't see the logic in your conflating the ponderous bureaucratic labyrinth that was the Soviet Union with the small, agile, anarchic cells of terrorists who bedevil us now -- and who in fact humiliatingly drove the Soviet Union out of mountainous Afghanistan.

Huh? In one sentence she seems to dismiss the "small, agile, anarchic cells" as insignificant,and in the next sentence she notes that they drove the Soviet Union from Afgan. Liberals.........consistently inconsistent.

Were it not for the disastrous impact of a Shia/Iranian takeover of the Gulf States on the global economy, and the need to deal effectively with Iran’s nuclear ambitions, it might actually be fun to watch the showdown between the Sunni/Al Qaeda/Wahhabist faction on the one hand, and the Shia/Iranian faction on the other. It would be even more fun to watch Israel slap down the “victor” of that disaster.

First up, there's logic: 95 percent of the Earth's greenhouse gases is that ethereal substance known as H2O. Peek out your window -- you might be able to see a little bit of it. Without it, the Earth would be a balmy zero degrees F (ice skating galore). Of the remaining 5 percent greenhouse gases, 4.5 percent is attributed to CO2. Of this 4.5 percent, only 0.3 percent is caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, mowing Al Gore's lawn, belching, etc. The remaining 4.2 percent of CO2 emanates from the Earth itself. If 0.3 percent sounds insignificant, it's because it is.

Faults in the convenient references: Al Gore (and the U.N.) exclusively use Antarctic ice-core data of ancient air bubbles supposedly trapping the precise amount of CO2 that existed then versus now. This data set has recently been shown to be flawed by experiments proving that those ancient air bubbles did not encapsulate the CO2 but allowed some of it to escape, thus making the data look as if modern CO2 readings are significantly higher (20 percent) than in the past. More reliable proxy indicators for CO2 such as ocean sediment do not show a significant increase due to human activities.

The onset of global cooling: As the word cycle suggests, there will be a downside to the Earth's warming cycle. Most analysis indicates that in five years' time the warming peak will be over and any left-wing environmentalists left standing will have to find a new donkey to ride into the wallets of industry.

Let me finish by saying that the prior and coming relegation of the Democrats to a kook fringe is in no one's best interest. Although a conservative on defense and economics, I tend to be socially liberal and have an innate fear of a one-party state, even if that party is the one I usually vote for (I amaze my friends by telling them how I voted for Ed Rendell here in Pennsylvania).

As a rigid defender of ALL rights enumerated in the Constitution of the United States and Bill of Rights, I firmly disagree with your assessment. First, a law-abiding citizen should never have to be forced into a "fair fight" with a criminal. Those who choose to do violence on their brothers and sisters to make a quick buck or to satisfy a primal itch should be rewarded with the title of "most hazardous job" in the country. Should they be resisted by citizens armed with Glocks, SIGS, AR15s, SPAS 12s and HK 94s, [that] would show me a population preoccupied with the defense of its life and liberty.
From another letter posted in this piece. The letter is much longer, and very good.
