"our leaders are morons.. "

It doesn't seem to me that very many people have even a glimmer of awareness of the threat that Islam itself represents to civilization.

Well...you have to wonder sometimes. If Arafat, for example, started his terrorist career back in the 70s by hijacking airplanes, and went on to be responsible for the deaths of hundreds or thousands of innocents, and yet was allowed to die a natural death 30-some years later...I sometimes lose my temper and say "What the F**K are they thinking?!" Are these gubmint types in charge any smarter than the average working stiff? What the hell is wrong with them? What kind of games are we playing?

I believe that I will see the destruction of the USA in my lifetime and I'm in my late 40s.

- I think Steyn and you give too much weight to Condi's stock response. She knows more than anyone else the true situation in Gaza and elsewhere in the Middle East but, being in charge of the diplomatic corps, she was being diplomatic, as required.
For her to give an honest answer, that Gaza remains a hotbed of ignorance and religious based violence would have only set off screaming headlines, ie;(American's Believe Moslems are Incurable Killers) and probably caused more riots and deaths from Pakistan to Iran.
Better that she give an innocuous reply than rock the boat.
