Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

In the spirit of open and honest disclosure I have not read the article. However:

JOHN O'SULLIVAN: Our failings encourage Islamic radicalism

Is utterly moronic. The koran COMMANDS islamic radicalism. There is nothing we can do or not do to discourage it. The war on terror ends with the death of the last moslem.

One last cultural obstacle needs to be overcome: the anti-Americanism of Europeans who would prefer to see the United States humiliated in Iraq than to admit that Europe's "soft power" needs America's "hard power" (and, to be fair, vice versa) if both halves of the West are to be safe from terror. -John O'Sullivan

Terrific piece. Vaclav Havel should be a key, but I fear Europe won't change its spots.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

here are the words of the terrorist leader al-Zarqawi: "We will either achieve victory over the human race or we will pass to the eternal life." And Osama bin Laden himself has said of the Iraq war: "It is either victory and glory or misery and humiliation."

They will not see victory.
