Today, reality outpaces fiction. The truth is often linguistically reversed before our very eyes: Even as we see Muslim jihadic terrorists blow up civilians we are simultaneously told that the victims are not those who have just been murdered, that the perpetrators of violence are the true victims. Our daily lives have become Orwellian.
The Palestinian intifada of 2000 against Israel started with and maintains genocidal intent.

Very good article. I often feel like an alarmist for sharing her point of view, but when it is set out realistically, point by point, as she has done in her article, it is not hard to see that there is cause for alarm. I know Bush is trying to seek out the supposedly moderate Muslims, countries like the UAE, and form alliances with them that will supposedly serve to tone down the radicals. But I feel less confident about this every day; or, shall we say, I would feel better about his strategy if I felt that we were also developing a strong worst-case response scenario. Instead, I think we're all being lulled back to sleep and when the attack comes, it's going to be really devastating.
But then, maybe I'm just an alarmist.
