Davis nails the situation as usual. The next Presidential election is going to be incredibly important. The Democrats will be running against Bush and Bush's legacy. They won't have a clue about how to "MoveOn" (ironic, ain't it?). Whoever the Republicans put up has to be able to carry the War on Terror or more accurately the War on Islamic Fascism" forward and better communicate why it's important. I fear a self-absorbed American public will as they did post-Vietmam, just turn the music up and dance to the opiate of another disco beat.
Yes.
As Hanson eloquently observes, the fate of the world depends upon the recognition, by its people, of both the identity and the seriousness of the threat.
The seriousness cannot be overemphasized.
Something has definitely gone terribly wrong here at home, and unless this wrong is corrected--and fast!--the results will definitely be tragic.
"Politically correct Westerners" are decadent.
"Parlor elites" and the Western "Newsmedia" seriously mislead and confuse the public.
The Left serves as de facto enablers of those who pose the most dangerous threat.
The people of the world appear to be steadily awakening to the seriousness and identity of the threat, but they have much to overcome: the profoundly decadent yet powerful Left and its relentless propaganda, which seriously impede the ability of the people of the world to respond effectively, exactly what they must do--and immediately.
BTW, if anyone doubts Hanson's understanding of what's at stake, read his excellent book A War Like No Other.
