It is part of the nature of a long war. Once you're in it, you had better concentrate on winning in the end. A very good post, Nadine. The quoted text is the bottom line. The sad fact is that we are for any number of reasons culturally unable to deal with a long conflict. The radical Muslim grievances, however, stem as far back as 1492, a year we remember for the discovery of America and one they recall because it was then that Muslims were forced out of Al Andaluz, a virtual paradise to them. Their problem is that aroused Western democracies are formidable adversaries. The cartoon issue transfixing Western Europe is a salutary thing in this sense. Allah help them should the Iranians go forward with their nuclear plans, which I think they will and which I think will result in the use of nuclear weapons perhaps in a year or so.

<Osama bin Laden/Al Qaeda is just the tip of an iceberg - one that the left won't acknowledge yet; they're still insisting that the 10% of the iceberg that shows above the water line is all there is.> Perfectly stated Nadine. Will the left to see the full iceberg ? Will we continue to see innocent people murdered on a daily basis while hatred and martydom are taught in muslim schools funded by the $$'s generated from oil and global donations to provide a Palestinean state ? The battle lines are being drawn between right vs wrong and tolerance vs intolerance.
