Yes well some view the Weekly Standard as a mouthpiece for the war party and feel their information is cooked or at least their interpretations to be. As for me I read as much as possible to try and verify stories, learn more and then form an opinion. Sure the messenger needs to be factored in but one should not let the source alone discredit facts or views.
As for the Taki quotes I could have written them myself but I saw his article and he said what I was thinking so I posted him instead of my own screed. You know war can be the easy way to deal with a situation. Other processes might not bring results quickly or what one exactly desires but it is wise to avoid wars. Planning to rearranging the world is megalomaniacal. Doing so through war is evil. Sending the least among us to do one's dirty work is even more reprehensible. So is using a horrible situation as an excuse for one's ambitions. But at least people like Alexander or Napoleon went into the field with their armies. Not so our Washington D.C. armchair "generals."
Are you bleeping nuts and cowardly? Think back to 9-11-2001. This is when the story begins. The Islamic world did us and now we're doing them. And before 9-11 Bin Laden was demolishing our embassies in Africa with huge death tolls and the cowardly Bill Clinton did NOTHING. Did you vote for AlGore so you would get more of the same?
If there is a "war party" there is a "cowardice party" and you and Justin Raimondo belong to it. Payback is a b***h and not responding is not an option. In fact we are taking the initiative and seeing their (the Muslim world) responses. We are pro active instead of waiting to be attacked.
