Hawkmoon:

Do you have any special insight into the minds of the islamic militants, their history, and politics?

Or do you just fervently want to believe in the "clash of the civilization" idea. Have you lost your moral bearing now that there are no communists to fight anymore?

>This is a war of ideological will.. We already know the Islamic militants possess such fanatical will to purvey their Jihadist ideals and values..>

<<The question is whether we'll have the will to do the same for our own values.. Or will we just tuck in our tail and leave the mid-east to the Islamo-Fascists.>>

Hawk, do you really think we'd give a rat's arse about the middle east if it wasn't for all our oil that they're sitting on?? There's a big Islamo-Fascist presence in South-East Asia now but we're not so enthusiastic about spreading our "values" in that region anymore. I wonder why?!?

MON.

ps.....just out of curiosity, how do you keep up with all this posting. It must get exhausting after a while!
