Victor Davis Hanson: The Whole World Is Watching
FrontPage Magazine ^ | October 26, 2004 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/26/2004 10:23:04 AM PDT by quidnunc

Chechen Islamicists burn up Russian airliners and shoot schoolgirls — and say they are victims, deprived of the chance for their own autonomous theocracy.

Beheaders in Iraq decapitate Americans, Pakistanis, Koreans, Japanese, and Nepalese — only to claim that these are infidels guilty of trying to build roads and bridges.  

Italian humanitarians and charity workers are kidnapped by Islamicists.

In the "holy" city of Najaf, religious extremists bomb innocents, not only without gratitude for those who freed them from Saddam, but full of hatred for those who would bring them consensual government.

Islamic terrorists kidnap French journalists and threaten them with execution, demanding that a sovereign nation previously known for its appeasement of radical Middle Eastern rogue regimes overturn a law protecting secular life in its schools.

Hamas "freedom fighters" blow up buses inside Israel and call the dead children Zionists who belong in the sea.

Islamic Fascists incinerate dozens in Madrid, and claim they have a right to do so because of the Spanish role in ridding the world of the Hussein clan — or was the real rub the Reconquista?

Australians in Bali are engulfed in flame by car bombers for the felony of being Western visitors in an Islamic enclave.

Meanwhile, back in the United States, as in the major capitals of Europe, Islamic terrorists are arrested periodically, seeking to trump the foul work of September 11.

Absolutely awesome article as usual.

Hanson has such a great mind. He brings clarity to the mess the MSM tries to hide. The stupid Left has no idea of the evil we are up against. How New York would go to Kerry after 9-11 is still mind-boggling. What fools. Kerry is obsessed with becoming President, not being President. He is a arrogant elitist who feels it is his divine right to rule over us.

Fortunately, they also don't have a clue about the goodness, intelligence, and power arrayed on our side. Hanson is a beacon, but there are many FreeRepublic flashlights out there helping to illuminate the darkness.

Because they don't accept the concept of evil.

I have my own ideas and I'm taking all suggestions...or, do you simply loathe the idea? I don't care either way, but since you pinged me...
