Thanks for posting this. Ms. Fallacci will be missed.

Pretty depressing article.

You now know why Hanson is one of my idols...

[cajungirl]

Has he forgotten about us? The millions of Americans who continue to support GWB, who believe he is on the right track?

There is reason for depression here but I think he had a bad day.

We are still here.

All is not lost! We still have Bill Clinton. He is sensitive.

Rest in peace.

The pope has not apologized. But the flap has confirmed the message he delivered to the West: If you can't talk to the Christians, then certainly you can't talk to the Muslims, who deny that Socrates was on to anything.

I thought I was a neo-con but I'm still with Dubya so I must be Old Guard.

I admit, when I heard Ms. Fallaci had died, I felt a real sense of dread. Like one of our pillars had crumbled in this fight. She was such a bright, shining star (and I also admit that I felt a sudden sense of relief when I read that cancer had taken her -- and not some pork-eschewing martyr for the cause).

But you're right, you're very right. We're still here, and we're still fighting.

the forced change of “Operation Infinite Justice” to “Enduring Freedom”

Thats what inspired my screen name and me to stop lurking and sign on to FR.

"In matters of the present war, I have given up on most of the neoconservatives, many of whom, following the perceived pulse of the battlefield, have either renounced their decade-long, pre-September11 rants to remove Saddam (despite the 140,000 brave souls still on the field of battle who took them at their word), or turned on the President on grounds that he is not waging the perfect fight and thus is not pursuing the good war. The Paleo-right is as frightening as is the lunatic Left. My old Democratic party is long dead, their jackals trying to tear apart the solitary and stumbling noble stag Joe Liebermann, the old center taken over by the Kerry and Soros billionaires, and the guilt-ridden academic, celebrity and media cadres."

While the whole eulogy was pretty spot on about "speaking truth" to political correctness, the truth is that the Neocons and the President are as delusional as the loony Left.

With the Left sputtering on about "peace" and dialog, The Neocons can't even bring themselves to name the enemy. Then they embrace the whole relativist multicultural lie and pretend that democracy imposed from without will cure all in socially backward tribal countries like Iraq.

Didn't anyone notice what happened in "Palestine"?

I can't decide if they are really that stupid, or if they realize that their whole Globalist enterprise hinges on public acceptance in the West of the muticultural lie.

It's worse than that... they're trying to ruin the fabric of this nation that ties us all together. They worship socialism. They hate the very mention of God in any public forum. They try to silence any truth they don't agree with. They are spineless, gutless, soul-less. I couldn't remain in that party any longer....it's too far gone.

I'll freely admit that this date meant nothing to me so I looked it up and here's the scoop for all the rest who didn't know either !

The Fall of Constantinople.
