Yes, the world is at war.

The problem is that many in our society and throughout the world are having a difficult time facing up to the reality of just who the enemy is.

Our freedoms has become our undoing.

Even our President can't admit who the enemy is this time. We use words like "terrorists", "jihadists", "Al Qaeda", "evil doers" and "insurgents", always being careful not to mention that one word.

I believe he knows. Remember, he called it exactly what it was in the beginning "a crusade". But the press tried to use that to incite people so the President wisely held his cards closer to his chest. I don't doubt for a minute that he has his finger on exactly what is going on. Keep in mind that there were over 700 arrests in the year leading up to the election. And, that if the Muslims could have manipulated the elections with an attack, they would have.

If the president came out and said we're at war with Islam, then we'd have to fight them all at once. This way we pick them off at our pleasure, but the truth is it's worldwide war. I don't think we can coexist with Islam. Some say if we're no longer dependent on foreign oil, that takes away their power base. Sure, but if Arabs have nothing left to sell but sand, they're not likely to be happy campers. We need to come up with some kind of happy pill, pacification gas, something we can force feed them into sanity.
