Fighting seamless jihad-In this war, the West is still confused about who the enemy is.

'The international community cannot expect Iran to take its brinkmanship seriously when, at the same moment it threatens sanctions, it refuses to clearly take Israel's side against Iran's blatant act of proxy aggression.'

And the UN calls for Israel to be condemned.

Thank goodness for W.

the West is still confused about who the enemy is

I think this is incorrect. The West knows who the enemy is. However, we have tied own hands behind our backs via political correctness which has stopped us from saying so.

Well, some of us at least. Most of the people on this site are comfortable saying "We are at war with Islamofacism"

The truth is that there is a GREAT DEAL OF FEAR in the west of naming the enemy because of fears that if the west even mentions the word Isalmofacists, then the whole hornets nest which is called Islam, all 1.3 billion will erupt in the flames of a massive war or jihad.

[Dark Skies]

Actually, the President has called the enemy "isalmofacists" and "radical islam." Unfortunately, I only recall one speech in which he used those terms.

If that is really true then we have already lost this war. You cannot defeat an enemy you are afraid to name.

From a big picture perspective, I guess I'm not too surprised that the West is still confused about who the enemy is. Some our resident military history experts can probably answer this question: Has there ever been an enemy who has used the stategy so effectively, to invade a country, and then attack?

Most enemies attack, and then invade to the extent allowed by the success of the attack. Because the United States of America has historically had a fairly open door, I think we have been/are being invaded, and (most) don't realize it.

Like an infection in the body, you may not feel any symptoms until the bacteria/virus colony reaches critical mass.

Are you referring to He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Caricatured-Disparaged-Insulted-Slighted-Disrespected-Or Even-Looked-At-Askance?

AKA the rock (and bomb) tossing band, Mad Mo & The Camel Humpers, with their backup group, The Burka Babes?

Iran is fighting wars of indirection.

Indirection in Gaza, indirection in Baghdad, indirection in the bekaa valley.

[Biggirl]

That is why the west has got to stop living in fear, because it will feed into the Islamofacists hands.

Even President Bush is walking on eggshells when the truth must be told.

Iran is fighting wars of indirection...Indirection in Gaza, indirection in Baghdad, indirection in the bekaa valley.

Most important, in the Security Council. At this point, Iran seems to be doing OK.

Very similar. India won't get much publicity here though, and the US won't do a thing.

There, fixed it for you.

Right you are.

Too much walking on eggshells and not enough truth telling IMHO.

At some point, IMO, human nature will take over and a sudden realization happens. A bunch of people will die, but sooner or later, we fight or we die.

As for me and mine, we stand.
