You basically cannot sum up our current state of world affairs any better than the brilliant Professor Hanson does in today's article. His portrait of a divided, distracted West in denial, a Europe that is lost, an Israel that can vanish on any given day and Islamic fundamentalists who survive because of our own divisions and self hatred is fascinating because it's exceptionaly vivid accuracy. It is truly a snapshot of how different countries are reacting to a violent clash of cultures at this moment in time.
I have long written here that it will take the loss of an American city before ignoramous like Rosie O'Donnell get the picture. This war did not start with George W. Bush. As Ruby Giuliani pointed out this week in response to John Edwards revealing and highly irresponsible statement, they declared war on us over a decade ago. As many in this country lose passion and focus, forgetting the terrible threat we ultimately face, I keep thinking about the comment I read last week by a Taliban member that "America has the watches but we have the time."
That says it all.
Another Month in the War
This is a baffling sort of “containment” we’re seeing.
By Victor Davis Hanson
May was another normal month in the war against Islamism. At home, a delusional Rosie O’Donnell was back at it. She reminded her viewers that the United States has killed over 600,000 innocents in Iraq. And in an impassioned plea, she and her cohorts reminded us dullards that zealous jihadists must have some understandable reason for being so, well, zealous. Perhaps she meant in the same way that the zealous Waffen SS must have had some legitimate reason for its strong feelings?
