Sadly, the truth is we (US collectively) are aiding the Muslim
Jihad against us. Even after 911, Iraq and all the rest, we still have leaders - including President Bush - who still don't "get it."

The percieved necessity of political correctness that leads us to at least pretend to see Islam as "The Religion of Peace" flies in the face of 1500 years of history.

The first step to resolving a problem is to recognize the problem. The US still does not recognize the problem. Europe doesn't even recognize that there is a problem.

I think they do know but don't want to wake the people up to it. I think people are slowly coming out of their coma..I hope there is a really good plan.

This is our problem, however the Europeans have one too. That the radical islamics were able to get an idiot elected in Spain, created Europe's "mexican border". Makes a nice hole into Europe's back door to start filling the country with "cells" in the wait. Upon command, they will become the EU's worst nightmare. The media,(FOX exempted) and the presstitues will all wonder why an appeaser like Spain, and the region, would be hit by Islamic fundy's?

Someone needs to remind the civilized world, that there is only one reason for Islamic fundamentalists to have captives/prisoner's. They are trading stock to get theirs back, or BS the world, while they work on their next step. If they can't do that, then they kill all the prisoner/captives, no need to feed deadwood in the eyes of a terrorist. I don't believe the world has a clue as to how ruthless these third century idiots really are...

In my mind, the jury is still out on Bush. Before the election he was constrained by his political opposition. It's encouraging that Powell is gone and that Condi is taking his place, and that Rummie is staying.

I just finished reading Ben Stein's (and Phil DeMuth's) book 'Can America Survive?' and highly recommend it. In the intro he outlines a scenario of what it would have been like after Pearl Harbor if FDR's political opposition had behaved the way the Left has towards GWB after Sept. 11. Basically, he doubts we would have won WWII. Europe's mainstream is far left of our left. If we have trouble staying united after Sept 11, what would happen in Europe? Bin Laden and his pals have to be asking themselves this question.
