Superb, as usual. I do not wish for war but war has sought us out. Well then, let us 'Cry Havoc!' and go after those who would destroy us and our way of life. If we are hit again let us call to arms the tradition that old hoary Andrew Jackson has bequeathed us and end this war the only way it can be ended. With a resounding victory of course. Our enemies must go the way of Carthage, of Persepolis, of Nineveh. They leave us no other option.

So be it.

Today, Iran has mollified the left and bought themselves more time. That's all they're doing, is playing for time. I fear they are just going to wait President Bush out for his 2 remaining years, hoping the likes of a Kerry is elected in '08.

Should that be the case, an attack 10 times worse than 9/11 will not elicit the response you've described.

I love W, I don't agree with him on a number of issues but when it comes to Iraq and the war on Islamofascists, he is the man. But I fear he is worn down. WTF happened to "you're either with us or you're with the terrorists?" Another fresh fighter, ala Rudy could end, very quickly, The First Terrorist War.

When Iran gets nuclear weapons, and surely our deep thinkers must know that this is what they want, all bets are off. And if there is a dem in the White House, a lot of people are going to die.

Great post too. Freedom as a faith is a wonderful idea I haven't seen before. Hard to believe when the President of Iran publicly calls liberal democracies abominations and for their end, that the liberals in this country still don't get it. A 10X 9/11 attack, 2 years into a democrat presidency will still be blamed on Bush.

When a more ruthless approach to fighting Islamofascism is proposed, the usual retort is that "we only descend to the level of, and become like our enemies."

That is pure crap. As you pointed out, we became a BETTER country after WWII, and that was after deliberately killing several hundred thousand enemy civilians, including dropping to A-bombs.

MM STATES "A 10X 9/11 attack, 2 years into a democrat presidency will still be blamed on Bush".

Bush is going to be blamed for every problem for the next fifty years. That's the way the Left works. There is absolutely no acknowledgment of Clinton's missteps that allowed Al-Qaeda to operate or that Clinton had the ability to liquidate Bin Laden after Bin Laden declared war on the US.

That radical Islam is basically at war with all things non-Islam is a good observation.

It means a country like India should be a solid ally if courted a bit.
