If the jihadists prove ascendant, then the larger humiliation of the West will serve to energize millions in the Middle East to recognize the successes of Islamism, which, in turn, might in some fashion come to power in the Gulf. Such theocracies, as we see in the ambitions of present-day Iran, could then soon use the petro-wealth of the Middle East to acquire nuclear weapons, destroy Israel, and force concessions from the West.

Listen, I'm not that bright, I mean solid D's in high school. But I get this, so I really don't understand why the left doesn't. Ok Ok I know they loath George Bush, they hate capitalism (that's a given), but don't they understand that if the likes of al Zawahiri win they're the 1st ones that will be stood up against the wall. I just don't get it.

(aside a great name for a blog "I just don't get it. blogspot", I seem to be saying that all the time.)
