Even Israeli generals have conceded that the defeat of Iraq, one of the most powerful Muslim armies in the Middle East, by only three divisions in 22 days with only 100 casualties is amazing. Some Israeli generals say it surpasses their 1967 victory in the Six Day War.

That is absolutely amazing if you stop to think about it.

As Moshe Dayan once remarked, on being praised for his success in the Yom Kippur and 7 Days' wars:

'I just did my duty. Of course, it helps if one can arrange to fight Arabs.'

Isn't it about time these people gave it up and became Christians, like everyone else?

"We have to thoroughly demoralize the enemies of God by means of destroying and blowing up the towers that constitute the pillars of their civilization, such as the high buildings of which they are so proud."

And our brave troops couldn't fire on THEIR sacred(?) buildings, even in self defense. Proves the duplicity of which these morons exist.

We did not directly provoke the attacks on 9-11...bill clinton did through indiscriminate bombing of aspirin factories, leaving soldiers without equipment to die for nothing, and being more interested in a fat chick than bin laden.

[Schnucki]

Their "macho"-type pride and their hatred of Israel and the West seems to overrule even common wisdom that would be in their own best interest.

I think this is called "cognitive dissonance."

There is no way for the Western mind to understand the depths of anguish and humiliation Muslims feel because of Western defeats of their armies.

Victor Davis Hanson talks about the role humiliation has played throughout history in ending conflict in general and terrorism in particular. Don't be surprised if we turn around years from now and realize that terror was indeed eradicated by the combination of humiliation and the end to American weakness in its response to 9-11.

President Bush at the WTC-"You can't hear me? I can hear you and soon those people who knocked down these walls will be hearing you too!" Or in Sadamn's case....breathing dirt.

What I think is most sickening about the Arab religion/culture is the use of their own children as suicide bombers and the use of children as human shields, such as by the feyadeen in Iraq. Allah must be outraged by such people!

This is what seems to escape the "feel-gooders" and peaceniks.
The struggle is for survival against primitives with the unlimited ability to destroy civilization, since they are not bound by the rules of the civilized.

There is only one currency they understand. It may not be pretty but we ignore that reality at our peril.

Ignorance continues to be our greatest enemy.

After a few weeks of R&R it will be time to crusade into Damascus and Tehran.
