Why do we go on putting ourselves in danger by cutting our nose to spite our face?
Worth the read.

What horrid price is there
for US to now pay, i wonder...
for another CLINTON Presidency
in a new time of war
in a new century
with our own Freedom
now directly at stake
right here at home,
with an Enemy that's now
just around the corner and
...up your street..?
NEVER FORGET

It is a very good article. I can see why the Left is so upset with the author and his new book. He replied to them in an OP/ED in the Washington Post.
They do so for the same reason they join Gangs. They get noticed for acting out and they get a perverse kind of respect, where they otherwise would be ignored.
In addition to the gang benefit they have the lurid promise of virgins in heaven and the permission of the religion to treat women as chattels.
Mohammed knew how to market his line to the lusty tribesmen of his time.
"Why don't the Liberals, Democrats and Hollyweirdos ever learn?"
I ask myself the same question. Perhaps they actually don't spend any time reading about World events. Or they are too locked into the 1960's and 70's to act in any other way. Or maybe they're just America haters, capitalism haters, and traitors.
Basically, Carter and the Dhimmis unleashed the current Islamic jihad on the world by helping overthrow the Shah of Iran, then gave the Soviets a green light to move aggressively to spread Communism, while Clinton gave our military secrets to the Chicoms and encourage Al Qaida to bring terror to American shores. TRAITORS!
D’Souza thnks that the lunatic Wahabbists aren't in league with the Saudi government. What's he been smoking?
***Why do we go on putting ourselves in danger by cutting our nose to spite our face?***
Because domestic political power is more important than national security.
We now only want easy victories at the national level, but loose over two men and we must declare it a quagmire, run home and hide under the bed.
btt
A good read, though I could have done without the annoying boldface font.
I know an Iranian leftist who marched with the Muslims in 1979. She said it was a euphoric experience at first, it being a true-blue revolution and all. She and her college student friends carried banners in the streets with the Muslim girls. But when they were threatened with beatings if they didn't veil their faces, the realization dawned that maybe this wasn't the progressive revolution she was expecting. Pretty soon she was fleeing the country with her family. Her father was well-placed in the Shah's oil ministry, and with the Ayatollah soon to take power he felt it best to leave for the States while he still had his head.

the annoying boldface comes from my lack of ability to change HTML code, certainly in a long article. I copy the article off the original site and get whatever was there. Hope you can put up with it.
Looks fine on http://www.antimullah.com where different colors provide emphasis and change of pace but it's all black bold when transferred.
How We Lost Iran And why we can_t afford another loss in Iraq

I'm not sure that's what he means. He thinks that the Iran led activity in Iraq will threaten Saudi Arabia as a whole and Iran will try to take it over as well. The Wahabbists are entrenched in a country well within reach of Iran's conventional missiles.
They have relatively few cities that matter and if those were taken out then bye bye Wahhabists.
Specially as there is quite a preponderence of Shias in parts of Saudi Arabia, too, so the religion of the current rulers (royals) is not as assured as it might have been.
Again, now that the income of the Kingdon has dropped drastically and the man in the street is no longer enjoying the same benefits as he used to. Forget the "she" part of the population.
It's no biggie. I read the whole thing and survived. I'm just giving you some feedback.
BTW, if you go to the website, highlight the article with your mouse, then cut & paste it into the FR posting window, the formatting will go away (but the paragraphs will stay) and the type will show up in the normal unbolded font.
Thank you, I'll try that out.

Khomeini believes that Iran should become a parliamentary democracy. Carter forgot to tell Khomeini this was to be his belief, since Khomeini never had this in mind - as proved by his writings on religious jurisprudence and his response to what should be done about the Ministry of Justice. He replied: "if someone is against me, he is against Allah and should be killed on the spot. Why do I need a Ministry of Justice or any other justice?"...one little mistake... cut Jimmuh some slack. I mean, it's not as if he hates Israel, and has never met a dictator he didn't like... oh, wait...
