"The haters are getting what they wanted: destruction of the moral bulwark of Western Civilization."
Everything that you say (post #23) is true.
I for one am disgusted with the attacks by these decadents--everything from the Boy Scouts to Christianity.
The War on Terrorism seems to be having a catalytic effect on the West. I see slow and reluctant though definite signs of the repudiation of this decadence in the United States.
President Bush has been instrumental in this catalysis.
The begrudging praise of his recent triumphs by American and European political leaders and journalists is only one sign.
The Widespread American support of President Bush is another.
I think I also detect a strengthened commitment to Christianity among those whom I encounter.
The effects of this catalyst must be encouraged. In spite of themselves, the terrorists may be helping the people of the West to solve their most dangerous and destructive problem--decadence.
Glad to hear it. History tells us that those who attempt to destroy cultures are themselves destroyed in the conflagration they foment.
