What we have is a bunch of Charles Mansons who have gathered together...just as Charlie listened to too much Beatles music while on acid,these guys have seen too many movies under the influence of hate religion

for as long as the Islamist terrorists had the initiative, everything was running according to a Hollywood script. But only until that point. The Americans are putting an end to the movie. And they are also putting an end to any form of predictability, even by the notoriously anti-American groups in Europe. For the Islamic terrorists, nothing could be more disruptive to strategic planning than this change of script.Very interesting article, MoJo! Thanks for finding & posting it!

The men who studied in Hamburg were all from middle-class backgrounds. Well, that's assuming that we know the true identities of the hijackers. Apparently, many of the names and passports were stolen or fake. But it's probably safe to assume that they were middle class, educated individuals, judging from the fact that they were able to blend into our culture long enough to learn to fly and board the planes without attracting attention.
Good article.

It was hardly coincidence that CNN used the apocalyptic title "The Day After" for its coverage. In Hollywood's imagination, in the 1980s and '90s the attack on the Pentagon alone would have unleashed the big strike.And the media still doesn't get: from Fox to the local news stations(shudder), they're stamping their feet in impatience for the next "event," while the American people, the polls show, pretty much understand that this might take a while.
Great post -- thanks, MoJo.

From the other side of the pond no less. What George W. Bush did thursday night showed the world he was a leader, not a follower. He could of easily passed the buck by saying he would consult with the U.N. and move forward once the coalition actions were approved by the U.N.
Instead...George W. Bush said he would lead the world in this battle against terrorism, with no mention of the U.N. He made unconditional demands with confidence, he made threats that were convincing (Turn over the terrrorist or share in their fate). This is a guy that has faced more obstacles since Novemeber 7th, 2000 than many presidents have faced in a full 4 year term, and he overcame them all. He surrounded himself with the most powerful cabinet this country has ever seen. And as he promised....he has delivered on most, if not all of his campaign promises in just 8 months. And now he is faced with the first attack on American soil since 1812 and he has stepped up to the plate and has shown the world he can lead it. NOT BAD for a guy who was never given a chance!
God Bless America
& God Bless George W. Bush.

...a type of global terrorist whose ideology consists essentially of nothing but murdering other people. This is exactly right! Amazing that someone in Europe (a.k.a. the land of "Blame America First, Last and Everywhere In Between") sees the enemy with such clarity. Good post.

This is really something. President Bush is quickly becoming almost mythic in his strength and determination. Thursday's speech inflamed the hearts of freedom loving men and women all over the world. Thank God he's in the White House.

[Bush] could have easily passed the buck by saying he would consult with the U.N. and move forward once the coalition actions were approved by the U.N. Which is exactly the sort of talk that was coming from ex-Clintonistas Warren Christopher, William Cohen, Bill Richardson, and Madeleine Albright as they postured and pontificated on the cable channels within a couple of short hours after the attack last Tuesday. I'm not sure any of them specifically mentioned the U.N., but the clear subtext in all their comments was that they needed to check with the global community to get permission to respond!
Can you imagine if this had happened last year when these people were our policy makers? Thank God we have adults running things now.

The media is sure mentioning the U.N today, I just heard them say that the U.N. was asking the U.S. to be sure they have proof before they act and they would like to see the proof.
Our media is focused on one thing!! MONEY, they are not interested in National Security, they are not interested in facts, they are interested in controversy and scandals. My only hope is that the eventual action we take comes sooner than later, because the media will have every bleeding heart liberal in this country beleiving that our insensitivity is why we were attacked and if we were able to feel their pain like X42 was able to, we would not have suffered this attack.

Raspberries to the UN! It's going the way of the League of Nations: Kaput.
I can't explain why, but I am suddenly, for the first time in a long time, optimistic.
Relationships are going to change radically, and to some surprisingly. We're into some big time history here, and some very painful and tough times, as an age changes and leaders might disappoint us (or astonish us). But get out your colored pencils, kids, because before too awfully long the map is going to change again. We're in for some big surprises! And I have a gut feeling that, not because of current world leaders but by God's grace, we're *not* going to have to color most of it in varying shades of pink.
