Can any public figure start framing this “ISIS crisis” as part of USA’s 200+ year war on Islam? Yes, we started fighting this against Barbary Pirates (”To the shores of Tripoli...”) in 1801! All the other western powers were bribing/paying tribute to the Islamic Pirates (jirza); USA was the one country to say NO and to lead the fight.
After the recent hiatus in our opposition to the Islamic horror, we must resume the fight!
I agree. We need another Stephen Decatur.
