>We (the US) can be pretty stupid when we want to be.

Well, it's difficult to use the word "we" to describe the US.

Remember, there's Red Nation America and Blue Nation America. Blue Nation is -- for all practical purposes -- an occupying force, a contemporary variation of the Vichy regime, which imposes its policies on Red Nation America.

Red Nation America is not suicidal. Red Nation America is not stupid. Red Nation America would never allow terrorist camps to be set up within its borders.

But Blue Nation America ALLOWS this kind of stuff because Blue Nation America is, in a very real way, AT WAR with Red Nation America. And it's a war in which Red Nation America CAN NOT FIGHT BACK because WE -- Red Nation America -- have great passion and love for America and we know that if we fight Blue Nation America, then it would amount to a civil war. (Blue Nation America doesn't care about such an issue because Blue Nation America hates America and all the values Red Nation loves.) So, the kind of horrible status quo just continues. Blue Nation America -- like cancer -- continues to dissolve away the body of America over-all. Red Nation America does what it can to live honorable and peacefully. But sooner or later SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE.

Good post, MArkW- But sooner or later SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE. Yes, hopefully though it will just be a lot of blue blood.. The tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood .....

That is a great description of present-day situation! I think that there may be a third color involved now: shades of purple. That's part of the blue areas waking up and slowly turning red. Whether they turn quickly enough to avoid a civil war is going to be the question.

So, you're blaming radical Islamic fundamentalism on the Democrats, huh? I'm sure the REAL reason al-Qaeda flies planes into buildings is because, you know, that tax cut is mighty annoying.
