Just as it was Hitler, not us; Tojo, not us; Mussolini, not us; and Stalin, not us so it is now.
It is Islamic fundamentalism, not us; Arab terrorists, not us; and Middle Eastern dictators, not us.
The problem is them and their unelected and unfree regimes, not us just as it always is when unelected maniacs take control and hijack an entire country and peoples.
And so it is with Islamism. For 1400 years they have been in a war with the "other" that they declared in the Koran. They fight in Kashmir, Bali, Sudan, Israel, America, the Philippines, Somalia, etc. not because of Western decadence, but because that is where the "other" lives. If the West did not exist, they would still be at war with the "other" because that is what they do. Apparently, that is all they do.
If 9/11 was when we awoke to the reality that we are at war, then we should remember that wars usually end when one, not both sides, win.
