THE War on Terror is over.Or, at least, the West seems to be declaring it so.
We've had enough.
There's been too much hostility. Too many lives lost; too many civil liberties trampled on. Too many Muslims offended.
So we're pulling out. We'll just have to "dialogue" more - and fight less.
Who sees any chance of winning militarily, anyhow? We'll have to work things out "politically" instead - offering "flexibility" and a willingness to compromise with the enemy.
Just one little problem: The enemy has yet to sign on to ending the war.
They have no desire to compromise or stand down - and no intention to do so.
We may declare the war over - but they won't. Ever.
They say so openly. Repeatedly. And backs up their words with horrific proof.
Still, we pretend - at our peril - that we can just withdraw and declare the war over. Consider the West's record of the past few weeks:
* Democrats keep setting surrender dates in Iraq, even as they fail to provide funding for U.S. troops there. As if our retreat won't plunge the Middle East into disaster - with consequences for America soon to follow.
* House Speaker Nancy Pelosi treats with Syria, a chief sponsor of terror. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos (D-Calif.) says he's dying to yuk it up with the thugs in Iran.
* Tehran, meanwhile, holds 15 British sailors hostage for two weeks - and Britain, once the greatest naval power on earth, does . . . nothing.
* Italy gets Afghanistan to release five Taliban captives in exchange for an Italian journalist, signaling that kidnappings pay. (After the Italian's released, the butchers slit the throat of his Afghan colleague.)

The enemy has been extraordinarily effective in weakening our will. They have had lots of help in that endeavor from people who carry passports like mine.
Ping it, please, MizSterious.
MizSterious has a ping list that should be of interest to Freepers who might care to engage in a little civilian volunteer psychological operations auxiliary work.
One of the dumbest things I’ve seen posted lately, is (paraphrasing) that “the Right needed a new bogeyman to replace Communism, and this Islamic terrorism stuff is it.”
So wrong, on so many levels.
The US will never win another war unless and until we figure out how to defeat the big-mouthed boneheads at home.
I especially like the quote from Zbig Brzezinski, that use of the verbiage "War on Terror" is "infinitely greater than any wild dreams entertained by the fanatical perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks."
Brzezinski worked in the Jimmy Carter administration and it was on his watch that the Shah was tossed out and Ayatollah Khomenei came to power in Iran. He must have approved the training of jihadis to go after the USSR in Afghanistan. His blind hatred of communism lead him to build up the mortal and historical enemies of the West.
Jimmy Carter and Brzezinski can be considered wreckers of the the World in which we all live.

Excellent commentary from the NY Post.
Islam and Sharia Law will take over Europe and England
by sheer demographics. What people don’t realize is we
aare in a modern-day Crusade: If only we could succeed
like the First Crusade.
Rush has been saying for some time now that it will take another catastrophic event in America before the country will wake up. Perhaps it will take several attacks all at once - and possibly with dirty bombs.
I’m beginning to believe that. It’s scary to think about but it’s one of the reasons we cannot allow the dems to take away our personal firearms.
But .. if an attack happens while the dems are still in control of congress .. they will deserve all the scorn they get .. and the media will be nutered.
