Very cogent.

BTW, If one replaces "terrorist" with "Leftist", this article suffices quite well in explaining the international and American Leftist too.

With the advent of globalisation, Islamist terrorism is now able to strike beyond the frontiers of the Muslim world. But the same lazy mentality is at work. The terrorist knows that he is incapable of building an alternative civilisation capable of competing with the one he despises. So he tries to destroy what becomes the cause of his humiliation.

Agreed on both counts.

My thoughts exactly.

Objective Journalism^TM is an establishment defined by:

• the superficality inherent in its "the show must go on" deadlines.
• the "boy who cried wolf" negativity inherent in its need to grab for peoples' attention.
• the "you never pick an argument with someone who buys ink by the carload" arrogance of those who claim the virtue of objectivity.
• the "you never pick an argument with someone else who buys ink by the carload" cowardice.

The left actually does have its own version of Rush Limbaugh. But whereas the real Rush Limbaugh defines his perspective openly, is optomistic about the American people and people generally, has a sense of humor and is willing to discuss competing viewpoints seriously, the left's version of Rush Limbaugh is just the opposite. The left's version of Rush Limbaugh is negative, superficial, arrogant, and cowardly.

The left's version of Rush Limbaugh is cynical, bullying Objective Journalism^TM.

Nah, they aren't lazy, they just don't have enough directness in their character. I know a number of leftists who work very very hard.
