The new Congress and whether a dim or RINO, the next prez will toss in the towel on fighting these murderers. We will have to be hit with the loss of thousands and thousands before we do anything again, and by then it may be too late.
Because we are growing more secular, it is difficult to imagine an enemy that believes its god to be the sovereign of the universe, and (this is critical) is prepared to wage physical war to see that vision enacted. What I am saying is that the terrorists are convinced that they, or their spiritual representatives, should rule the earth for Allah, and that they would kill us all if they could. This is the single most important fact that liberals and soft Western politicians fail to understand. The terrorists cannot be bought off, they cannot be dissuaded, they cannot be engaged, because their cause is theological and for the Islamist, theology never changes. They have an eschatological vision of the triumph of Islam, and they must be fought if we are to preserve who and what we are.
We are in for it come January. We will all need each other here once the 110th Congress gets underway...
And the libs won't give a damn. They'll just say that it's Bush's fault because Bush pissed off the terrorists.
