Thanks very much for posting this Norm! I read it some time ago - perhaps as a result of an earlier post by you or another FReeper.

I've bookmarked it now.

Islam delenda est.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I post it semi often on these types of threads. Sometimes fiction opens eyes in ways that reality can’t. And this particular fiction is pretty prophetic.

I think people, even on the right, understand the threat at some level, but don’t ‘understand’ the threat. Not really understand it. It’s just more bad news on TV that doesn’t directly impact them in a real concrete/physical way. They think it might eventually, but not ‘today’. So it gets left for tomorrow to worry about. Meanwhile the threat builds unabated.

It’s human nature I guess, but human nature has often been the downfall of empires.
