Bump. Particularly the post of mine diretly above this one on on this thread. I had sort of back burnered this line of reasoning. Now would be a good time to move it to the front of the stove.

That was one of the most profound statements I've ever read on FR. Thanks for posting it.

It's the same experiment as Milosevitch, redistribute power along ethnic lines to thugs and mafia people and call it an attempt at glasnost/perestroika or freedom. Except this time we have Chechens giving the bomb to enemies of the West, so conveniently.

[lavaroise]

this National Review rant against liberals is not new but bears repeating.
and testing.

Thanks, friend, and regards. It ain't rocket science, is it?

V. S. Naipaul nails it in Beyond Belief

I’ve been aware of madness in the Islamic world. I’ve written about it. The madness of people who have fallen behind technically, and who do not have the will to make the intellectual effort to catch up. I was aware of the religious hatred, I was aware of the indifference to life. I was aware of the anti-civilization aspect of the new fundamentalism. But I had no idea it had gone so far — the madness. The idea of their strength is an illusion. Nothing is coming from within. The terrorists can fly a plane, but what they can’t do is build a plane. What they can’t do is build those towers. I think people have spoken much rubbish about that event. The poor revenging themselves on the rich! It’s nothing but an aspect of religious hatred. And that is so hard to deal with, or even contemplate. You can deal with the poor striking out, but you can’t deal with the threat of a universal religious war.” Though he approved of the recent war in Afghanistan, he is keenly aware of the inherent absurdity of the current war on terrorism: “Your biggest enemy is your great ally — Saudi Arabia — and the foot-soldiers of the terror come from your other ally — Pakistan.”

Very nice post noumenon! I suspect you practice (a good deal of) what you are preaching.

[dennisw]

Thanks for the ping/wake-up call!

 

Ding dong. 
Death cult Islam calling.

[lavaroise]

genocide, murder, the destruction of your life and your family and your home and livelihood is just a matter of whim and caprice.

Dumbass liberals of the left and the right like to say opportunity lies a phone call away.... they ain't seen nothing yet....

Death really is one phone call away. This is the sinister reverse side of 911!!!

[lavaroise]

The unrelenting solicitations of the specters.

[dennisw]

Death really is one cell phone call away. That's what set off the Hebrew University bomb and killed 5 Americans.

The states comprising the CSA were sovereign, and responding to invasion by the North.

The South started the war and the North finished it. End of story. Get over it.
