A Patient Enemy:On 9/11, America Entered A War That The Terrorists Had Already Begun

When is the left gonna get "liberal" on the Jihadis' asses?
When are they gonna protest the "inequalities" in an Islamic societies and stand up for their sisters? etc. Let them engage radical with radical and see who wins.
Until they are able to focus their attention on the real enemy, we must hold the line until they come to their senses. Seems this is the classic 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' scenerio.

They lost after....2 months. Why do I say this? OBL really expected the Islamic world to raide up and join his banner. Now I could be wrong and I might've missed it but I didn't see hat happen. In fact I see the exact opposite'

Hans Magnus Enzensberger looks at the kind of ideological trigger required to ignite the radical loser - whether amok killer, murderer or terrorist - and make him explode
(snip)

Contrary to what the West appears to believe, the destructive energy of Islamist actions is directed mainly against Muslims. This is not a tactical error, not a case of "collateral damage". In Algeria alone, Islamist terror has cost the lives of at least 50,000 fellow Algerians. Other sources speak of as many as 150,000 murders, although the military and the secret services were also involved. In Iraq and Afghanistan, too, the number of Muslim victims far outstrips the death toll among foreigners. Furthermore, terrorism has been highly detrimental not only to the image of Islam but also to the living conditions of Muslims around the world.

The Islamists are as unconcerned about this as the Nazis were about the downfall of Germany. As the avant-garde of death, they have no regard for the lives of their fellow believers. In the eyes of the Islamists, the fact that most Muslims have no desire to blow themselves and others sky high only goes to show that they deserve no better than to be liquidated themselves. After all, the aim of the radical loser is to make as many other people into losers as possible. As the Islamists see it, the fact that they are in the minority can only be because they are the chosen few.

From the Islamist's point of view, they have had a string of unbroken success since Afghanistan because a nightmare for the Soviets. Given that track record, recruitment is easy, and the continued growth of the terrorist movement is assured.

They must be handed some defeats. We are in the process of doing so, but if we stop too soon, Iraq and the US war in Afghanistan will also fall into their Win column, at least in their view.

I hate to sound dramatic, but on the success or failure of the Iraq War turns the prospects for peace in the World for the next 50 years. If the Islamists can be put back in their box, they will be managable. If they are not, things are going to get worse and worse for the forseeable future.

Exactly! You comments bear repeating to everyone who can vote against the weasels and for the defenders of freedom, in 2006 and beyond:

"The U.S. Left--including its Political Machine, i.e. the Democrat Party, and its Propaganda Machine, i.e. the "Mainstream Newsmedia"--are working under a similar pact today: It has allied itself with terrorists, tyrants, anti-American movements, and anything that will help eliminate U.S. hegemony and establish the Leftists' Marxist agenda, not because they support Islam or any other religion, but because they perceive liberty, capitalism (which is liberty), and a powerful, free, liberal, capitalist United States as the competitor to be eliminated first."
