"It beats me how they can pretend that we have not risen to a real threat, whether they disagree with the strategic or tactical responses or not." Are you talking about Afghanistan, Iraq or what? Iraq was in no way, shape or form a threat to us, that is irrefutable at this stage of the game.

It takes an ability to step back and to realize that we are in a bizarro religious war, where there will be no compromise -- in a war with extremist Islamists. Their more moderate co-religionists should be happy that we find ourselves on their side, but they prefer, apparently, to enjoy the illusory "mileage" they get from the "victories" of the terrorists over the West. If they don't wake up, they'll end up getting "re-educated" some day in brand new islamist Gulags and other killing fields.
