					<description>&lt;i&gt; It’s especially odd that we lack the requisite patience, because compared to former wars the sacrifices asked of us have been relatively small.&lt;/i&gt;

Why is it odd when the left communist line is to disarm, lie down and allow us to be overrun because we are the “oppressor nation”

The minute you actually understand the rules of oppression and class, you then will understand why this is so.  the oppressor can never be anything else. the oppressor, even if they want to be something else, and even if they are nice and help, they are only insuring there own hegemony as oppressors. I feel like a bad oppressor every time I help a mother with carriage go up the stairs in the subways that are immune to the laws that require access for everyone else. 

The communists, are utopians and so they can NEVER be oppressors. This is why the US is to blame for Vietnam, but what happened after means nothing. 

To lose wars to such pittance struggles is to make us hate ourselves more. to doubt ourselves. to feel bad and perhaps even act out more to change that course. 

Doesn’t matter crisis and progressivism goes together like gulags and leftism. 

Without understanding the small dialogue of rules as to oppressor and oppressed relationships, none of this will make cogent sense. the second you realize that there is a simple rule in play, suddenly you can (like flocking) simulate and understand the behavior. 


&lt;i&gt; Winston Churchill delivered a message during one of England’s darkest hours, just after Dunkirk. He was addressing Parliament and shoring up the will of his people and their leaders, but he was delivering a message to the enemy, as well&lt;/i&gt;

Oh that was true, but to let you know another reason for the first.  

&lt;b&gt; Britons are losing their grip on reality, according to &lt;i&gt;a poll out Monday which showed that nearly a quarter think Winston Churchill was a myth&lt;/i&gt; while the majority reckon Sherlock Holmes was real.
The survey found that 47 percent thought the 12th century English king Richard the Lionheart was a myth. And 23 percent thought World War II prime minister Churchill was made up. The same percentage thought Crimean War nurse Florence Nightingale did not actually exist. Three percent thought Charles Dickens, one of Britain’s most famous writers, is a work of fiction himself. Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi and Battle of Waterloo victor the Duke of Wellington also appeared in the top 10 of people thought to be myths.
Meanwhile, 58 percent thought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective Holmes actually existed; 33 percent thought the same of W. E. Johns’ fictional pilot and adventurer Biggles.
&lt;/b&gt;


The words you quoted, are considered a myth. Propaganda… just as the gulags are unknown and also considered such by those who have heard ‘something’.

Since Churchill is a myth, all that he said, contributed, and did, was contrived as cartoon propaganda for the war effort. 

Note that they said a QUARTER of Brits.   (Americans are much the same)</description>

					<description>I am a little surprised to learn from yet another survey that so many people still read the Biggles books, let alone think the pilot to have been a real person. Things can't be as bad as some of us thought.</description>

					<description>"so focused on the hope of heaven and so aware of the long sweep of history. And for me, this perception had nothing to do with political affiliation; I was still a liberal Democrat, and had been my whole life."

You were in with them but already had the seeds of doubt...

Otherwise, I think you are on to something. Liberals reject history. I've heard more than one ask why we even teach it.... which rises to contempt of it IMO... One of my own liberal HS history teachers started the semester trying to explain history away... saying how can we learn from it when it's a point of view (re: if we study the wrong or take the wrong lessons, how do you learn... and then how do you know what the right lesson is)...

It's not a blip... from day one, progressivism has had contempt for the past and progressives think they know so much better that they can create a better society by sweeping it away with their new ideas. 

In the 60s, this meme was put forward via the 'imagine' attitude. Imagine a world without war, want, greed, et cetera... as if, imagining it would make the real world go away or change... and, like the utopians from the 20s on (re: if they knew their history) they reacted just like the bad people they claimed to reject by scapegoating out groups to account for their failures to change the world...

Today we get the same stuff with national healthcare... I want it to be free... so it should be (and it will just work because I want it so)...</description>

					<description>"Islamicist totalitarianism is possessed of a very long memory, and far more patience than we have. "

That is both their strength and their weakness. I think that the chief strategic thought amongst the leadership must always be "How far can we push them so that they do not lose patience?" 

So far, their calibration since the 11th has been finely wrought. Should they misjudge, the results can be catastrophic for them. Since they know this, we can be fairly certain they will not misjudge.

The other advantage touched on, and it may well be a fatal advantage, is that the enemy has full control of its myths, while we are in the midst -- or even towards the end -- of a long period of dismantling our core myths.

To paraphrase, "A people without myths is not redeemed by time."</description>

					<description>You are absolutely right, neo.  It always ticks me off when I hear the meme repeated that "this war has lasted longer than WWII."  World War II is not the correct frame of reference.  It's the Cold War, a struggle that lasted decades.  In fact, I remember right after 9/11, my dad telling me, "Well, we beat Communism and we can beat this too."

I think it's because the threat is more subtle that people can more easily put it out of their mind, deny it, downplay it, or pretend it doesn't exist.  Of course, the media doesn't help here--not just talking about the print media, either; Hollywood has a real "He Who Must Not Be Named" problem with Islamism.  It's like they can't even bear to think about it--not understanding that acknowledging the issue is the first step to finally beginning to deal with it.  I often wonder what historians fifty or sixty years from now will make of the print and film attitudes of this time.  I suspect it won't be pretty.

Your invocation of history is another well-taken point.  There are many many people out there, not just on the left either, who don't really understand or know much about history--they've learned the politically correct "West/U.S. bad, indigenous country good" soundbites--not even the full version but just soundbites--and that's about it.  They have no context to put this struggle into, no way of comparing it with conflicts past, no real understanding of the nature of warfare, of counterinsurgency, of totalitarianism and what it does to the mind, of much of anything in fact.    I'm not claiming to be an expert on any of these things--far from it.  But at least I know what I don't know and I've been trying to educate myself (since I didn't get *any* of this stuff in college).  I just wish more people would do the same.</description>

					<description>The programm to conquer and put to submission all infidels (that is, the whole world) was formulated by Mohammed himself in Koran, which was "Mein Kampf" of this totalitarian dream. It still serves the same goal. So we can date the beginning of this struggle by 7th century.
For Catholics the most important date is 1492, the end of Reconkista by expelling muslims from Spain. 
For Slavs, especially Serbs, this is Battle of Kosovo, 1389, and invasion of Turks into Kostantinople in 1454. Russia declared itself The Third Rome, and ultimate goal of its historical existence being liberation of Kostantinople and restoration of Aya Sophia as a Christian cathedral. This understanding still is deeply imprinted in national consciousness. It was crucial for entering Russia into Great War.
Another unresolved historical aspiration of Russia - conquest of Persia, with access to Persian Gulf and Indian ocean. I do not exlude this themes can be actualized in future, may be, not so far future.</description>

					<description>In the days after 9/11 I also wondered about this "War on Terror". How do we fight an enemy that is internationally disperse, unidentifyable on sight and able to disappear back into the various societies that it inhabits? Iraq has been seridipitous. Where would we be fighting them if not there? Here? Britian? Isreal?

Instead of "fighting" people sitting in their offices in NY, unaware that they are at war, they have to fight our military, armed and ready for a fight...and it's over there. Is this a great war or what? Compared to much worse alternatives.</description>

It's why the left has been pushing the meme that the cold war was fake... re: the Soviets were the paper tiger dreamed up by the neocons... and their parents... ergo, this conflict is a 'lie' too.</description>

					<description>bp... you can read Li Ch'uan and Chinese Military Thought.  and dont forget clauswitz, tsun tsu, if you can get them, get the osprey series... each book covers every war in recorded history. 

then read about each generation of warfare... 2g, 3g (WWII), 4G, and now 5G.. 


&lt;i&gt;Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW): An emergent theory of warfare premised upon manipulation of multiple economic, political, social and military forces in multiple domains to effect positional changes in systems and achieve a consilience of effects to leverage a specific goal or set of circumstances. (Arherring 1/12/07)&lt;/i&gt;


if you read the new treatise on it by chinas generals, its real interesting.  such warfare is differnt in the ways that your hinting at... 

hwoever, islamics is a perfect bed to research and test such tactics. 

other things would connect the lead in toys, and other issues to a form of warfare where you can hurt your enemy but deny him recompense or response as it seems to be an economic accident. 


if you want to understand wahts going on now, the 4g/5g warfare covers it. 

in this idea groups like hammass can wage warfare of attrition from inside the state. 

it serves two purposes... the enemies defeat if its not countered... the enemies turning to the darkside of 'actions' and 'morals' if they do try to counter it. 

&lt;b&gt;If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons," he said, making it clear he was speaking in a personal capacity. "We Chinese will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian.



4g leads into 5g, and that is what the chinese treatise describes or titles as "unrestricted warfare"

(Beijing: PLA Literature and Arts Publishing House, February 1999)

note how old it is.  

its a VERY interesting read as the authors really really understood various battles, and have some interesting takes and angles on it. 



according to them, and others... unrestricted warfare is exactly that.  completely and totally unrestricted...   dog eat dog sociopathic warfare on ALL LEVELS and at ALL TIMES... 

pay close attention to their comments on how the west is over relyed on technology.. 

in fact it was the doctrine of overwhelming force on teh battle feild as mocing the whole thing to the most dark and clandestine dirty areas, as no one has a chance any more in open combat. 

the key here is that a small force of a few thousand people, with money and freedom to move from state to state, can in effect take over or collapse a state like the US under its own weight of reaction and its own waste of resources. 

i quote

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;At the same time, with the progressive breaking
down of the distinction between military technology and civilian technology, and between the
professional soldier and the non-professional warrior, the battlespace will overlap more and more
with the non-battlespace, serving also to make the line between these two entities less and less
clear. Fields that were formerly isolated from each other are being connected. Mankind is
endowing virtually every space with battlefield significance. All that is needed is the ability to
launch an attack in a certain place, using certain means, in order to achieve a certain goal. Thus,
the battlefield is omnipresent. Just think, if it's even possible to start a war in a computer room or
a stock exchange that will send an enemy country to its doom, then is there non-battlespace
anywhere?&lt;/b&gt;


so economic warfare, computer warfare, clandestine poisionings of enemies under pretenses of mistakes, etc. 

its all war, all the time, with no prefferred place and no one understanding that thats what it is. 

&lt;b&gt;If that young lad setting out with his orders should ask today: "Where is the battlefield?" The
answer would be: "Everywhere."&lt;/b&gt;


in this game.. move.on are soldiers in the mind fronts...  islamics are on teh religious fronts.. feminsits are on the gender front...  national socialists are on the race front (black this time not german), nazies are on the green front...  

in case no one noticed... sedetion is legal now, and these are the warriors... 

all of them start out as terrorists... including the feminists!!! well teh radical communist ones... rote zora... 


they take the old soviet cold war thing where fronts are supposed to fund themselves after starting, and they do so with relish. 

this means that a team that arrives can set to work creating or tapping the money supply. 

open borders...  the socialist revolutionary forces joining the US army to get urban warfar training.. or anyone care to read how the propaganda has turned the good people off so much that we are flooding the military with m13, ms13, farc, white supremicists, etc.    

at some point.. the type of rhetoric as with wright will get useful idiots to do nutty things. 



&lt;i&gt;All of the cards have now been shown. We already know that war will not again be displayed in
its original form.


&lt;b&gt;Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the
145
World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency
band widths understood by the American military. The American military is naturally
inadequately prepared to deal with this type of enemy psychologically, in terms or measures, and
especially as regards military thinking and the methods of operation derived from this. This is
because they have never taken into consideration and have even refused to consider means that
are contrary to tradition and to select measures of operation other than military means. This will
naturally not allow them to add and combine the two into new measures and new methods of
operation. In actuality, it only requires broadening one's outlook a little and being uninhibited in
thought to be able to avail oneself of the lever of the great volumes of new technology and new
factors springing up from the age of integrated technology, thus prying loose the wheel of the
military revolution rusted as a result of lagging behind in terms of thinking. We can here
appreciate the deep significance of the old saying, "a stone from other hills may serve to polish
the jade of this one."&lt;/b&gt;


and this from the generals quoting from long before china amassed all our money and credit

&lt;b&gt;However, by
using the combination method, a completely different scenario and game can occur: if the
attacking side secretly musters large amounts of capital without the enemy nation being aware of
this at all and launches a sneak attack against its financial markets, then after causing a financial
crisis, buries a computer virus and hacker detachment in the opponent's computer system in
advance, while at the same time carrying out a network attack against the enemy so that the
civilian electricity network, traffic dispatching network, financial transaction network, telephone
communications network, and mass media network are completely paralyzed, this will cause the
enemy nation to fall into social panic, street riots, and a political crisis. There is finally the
forceful bearing down by the army, and military means are utilized in gradual stages until the
enemy is forced to sign a dishonorable peace treaty. This admittedly does not attain to the
domain spoken of by Sun Zi, wherein "the other army is subdued without fighting." However, it
can be considered to be "subduing the other army through clever operations." It is very clear who
was superior and who inferior when comparing these two methods of operation.
This is, however, only a thought. However, it is certainly a feasible thought. Based on this
thought, we need only shake the kaleidoscope of addition to be able to combine into an
inexhaustible variety of methods of operation. &lt;/b&gt;


so now the dollar is in free fall.. china can wipe us out by changing currencies... we have no manufacturing to make equipment to protect us... russia can dump huge quantities of gold to eradicate the value suddenly being stored in gold...  

food riots hasve started... chavez has been getting shipments of grenade launchers and other interesting things....

and the list goes on.&lt;/i&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>bp&#8230; you can read Li Ch&#8217;uan and Chinese Military Thought.  and dont forget clauswitz, tsun tsu, if you can get them, get the osprey series&#8230; each book covers every war in recorded history. </p>
<p>then read about each generation of warfare&#8230; 2g, 3g (WWII), 4G, and now 5G.. </p>
<p><i>Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW): An emergent theory of warfare premised upon manipulation of multiple economic, political, social and military forces in multiple domains to effect positional changes in systems and achieve a consilience of effects to leverage a specific goal or set of circumstances. (Arherring 1/12/07)</i></p>
<p>if you read the new treatise on it by chinas generals, its real interesting.  such warfare is differnt in the ways that your hinting at&#8230; </p>
<p>hwoever, islamics is a perfect bed to research and test such tactics. </p>
<p>other things would connect the lead in toys, and other issues to a form of warfare where you can hurt your enemy but deny him recompense or response as it seems to be an economic accident. </p>
<p>if you want to understand wahts going on now, the 4g/5g warfare covers it. </p>
<p>in this idea groups like hammass can wage warfare of attrition from inside the state. </p>
<p>it serves two purposes&#8230; the enemies defeat if its not countered&#8230; the enemies turning to the darkside of &#8216;actions&#8217; and &#8216;morals&#8217; if they do try to counter it. </p>
<p><b>If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China&#8217;s territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons,&#8221; he said, making it clear he was speaking in a personal capacity. &#8220;We Chinese will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian.</p>
<p>4g leads into 5g, and that is what the chinese treatise describes or titles as &#8220;unrestricted warfare&#8221;</p>

					<description>Just to clarify what seems to be being said here; the Islamic faith is, and has been from its beginnings, the source of our problems. The Long War on Terror is, therefore, a Long War on Islam and will presumably continue until all who profess to believe in that faith are converted or exterminated. This will require sacrifice and patience, but it is both necessary and honorable because our cause is noble and just. 

In what way, then, are we different from our supposed enemies? Is this not a case of saying our faith demands that those who do not follow it must be enemy/infidels and therefore we must slay them or they shall slay us?

Here is a timely &lt;a href="http://www.the-american-interest.com/ai2/article.cfm?Id=418&#38;MId=19" rel="nofollow"&gt;article from The American Interest&lt;/a&gt; about the threat of terrorism. A good quote from it is, &lt;i&gt;"  ... the total number of people killed worldwide by genuine al-Qaeda types and assorted wannabes outside of war zones since 9/11 averages about 300 per year. That is certainly 300 a year too many, but that number is smaller than the yearly number of bathtub drownings in the United States. Moreover, unless the terrorists are able somehow massively to increase their capacities, the likelihood that a person living outside a war zone will perish at the hands of an international terrorist over an eighty-year period is about one in 80,000. By comparison, an American’s chance of dying in an auto accident over the same time interval is one in eighty."&lt;/i&gt;

I say, it is time for a jihad against bad drivers ... and their evil masters, the makers of suburban assault vehicles.</description>

					<description>chris... 

this is the numbers fallacy... 

you win because you win, not because of some numbers, or how many kills (boy did that one cause trouble in vientam), or anything else. 

winning is the only measure of success in war

look at the issue this way. 

they were able to cause more damage with those few people than many other actions!! 

our laws hav changes, communstst are bidding to be allowed to teach communism in schools in california, we are so parnoid we are giving tons of money to places that yuo cant find on the map. 


its not how many...  


in the godfather, all they did was kill one horse... 


wars are psychological, not physical.. 

the physical is used to drive psychology... 


the thought that bombing alone can win a war is a problem of misunderstanding psychology.. 


in case you didnt realize it, but bin laden and his crew do things in multiples so that the population knows it is not an accident. 


one gas truck goes off... its buried..

one lone gunman yelling allah akbar in a mall in the midwest... he is an unconnected lone wakko


one plane into the side of a building... must be an accident...  weeks would go by before we 'got it'..

but a few? 

once is an accident
twice is a coincidence
three times is on purpose.</description>

					<description>A great post and lotsa good comments.

I knew bupkus about Islam on 9/11. Like the commenters here I undertook to learn as much as I could, and I'm still learning. The whole picture of Islam is much more than just the tenents of Islam. Tribalism, shame-based culture, a tradition of revenge, and a fundamentalst religious worldview all contribute to the mix.

When libs tell me the threat is isolated in Afghanistan and Waziristan, I always refer them to the  Religion of Peace site: http://thereligionofpeace.com/  That site keeps a worldwide running total of the terrorist attacks and associated deaths. It provides a stark picture of the conflict writ large.

This is a worldwide, low intensity, sometimes overt, sometimes covert conflict.  Which is why it is so difficult for many people to understand what is actually going on and why.  They see on going armed conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq as chaotic and never ending. The most common questions are: Why are we there? What would victory look like? Why would it be bad to just declare victory and leave?  Because they do not know history and do not understand the enemy, it makes no sense to them. 

As pointed out, the MSM, for the most part, has done little to help the masses understand.  The majority  just want it over so things can be like they were in the 90s; peaceful and prosperous.  And most want desperately to believe that somehow, someway we can get the Islamists to accept the idea of coexistence. (Barack Obama's plan.)

Short of the MSM suddenly having an epiphany and undertaking to educate the populace or worse, a nuclear blast in one of our cities, we seem fated to go on as a house divided against itself.</description>

					<description>I wrote something about Democrats and tribalism today.

The Democrats are quite attached to promoting tribalism rather than nationalism here in the United States. Is it because Leftists think nationalism is a bad and evil thing? Is it cause they associate nationalism with fascism?

But how can that be, when one of the leading complaints about Bush's efforts in Iraq is that Iraq had no history of being a nation?

Identity politics, creating grief groups, separating out blacks and whites according to blood and skin color, all of those things are what happens when one tribe fights another tribe. A nation is supposed to suppress these various infighting tribal politics for something higher and better. A nation for the good of all, not just for the good of your blood relatives.

And that's why Democrats use the chickenhawk accusation. They want to accuse you of being too cowardly to defend your tribe, because clans and tribes are the only thing the parochial Leftists and Democrats can accept as being valid. Also because tribal traits consist of valor, courage, killing, the use of violence, and the acceptance of death for the tribe. America is not a tribe though. Perhaps if the Democrats achieve ultimate dictatorial power, that will change.

There is no progress to their "Progressive" policies, except the progress towards ultimate entropy and self-annihilation.

In the end, that's why the Democrats appear to value courage and fighting on the front, but lambast Petraeus for doing exactly that. Because Petraeus is not part of the Democrat tribe. Petraeus serves America, and the Democrat's loyalties don't go to America.

We have enemy tribes outside and inside the nation. An unfortunate situation and a very unstable one.</description>

					<description>I think before this struggle is over the terminology will come to include more than what this article shows, look at Farwell’s explanation of the Twin Towers to the current situation with Obama’s pastor to the Warren Jeff’s sect, and you know where I’m going with this; not to forget West Bank settlers. 

There was a time in our history when theism was beneficial to humanity, it was our first attempt, our first explanation of science, philosophy, humanitarianism, our first attempt at explaining the natural world its mysteries its seemingly callous and benevolent ways. The neo-liberal Chris Hedges refers to this defense of reason as a “cult of science” and helps explains the circular track where the far-Left and the far-Right shake hands, the common thread that they share is the credulity of faith because faith provides a vast reservoir of people who accept more than they should with what they are given, this reservoir is essential to both the benign politician, as it is to the psychopathic totalitarian, as it is to anyone seeking a large consensus for power. 

No doubt about it, world civilization faces its greatest threat from within radical Islam. And on a final note, dabble in moderate theism all you like, it can be a hobby or a reenactment sort of life style, just don’t require it of others, by and large keep it out of the schools, and out of our secular American constitution and government.</description>

					<description>&lt;b&gt;I say, it is time for a jihad against bad drivers … and their evil masters, the makers of suburban assault vehicles.&lt;/b&gt;

That's cause you'd rather make war against liberty and freedom of choice than against the slavery and tyranny of Islamofascism overlaid ontop of murderous tribal mentalities.

You'd accept 300 deaths a year because you will give away my liberty to pursue my life as I wish to save yourself.

Slavery has always been preferred by the Democrats over fighting and killing for freedom. The Civil War is just one of many examples of this truism.</description>

					<description>The "small number of deaths" that people proclaim concerning terrorist actions have already limited the liberty and freedom of any number of Western organizations and institutions, including the main sewer media.

That's fine, if you have no problem sacrificing personal liberties to the Islamic Jihad. Others, however, will have a problem sacrificing their liberties just because Chris White here said that statistically there isn't a threat.</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;the total number of people killed worldwide by genuine al-Qaeda types and assorted wannabes outside of war zones since 9/11 averages about 300 per year.&lt;/i&gt;

Oh good, it's a non-issue.

Then I guess we can go to the store and buy a magazine with funny cartoons of Mohammed, we don't have to install foot-baths in airport restrooms and Comedy Central can poke fun at Islam now.

Right?  Right?

Glad you cleared that up.</description>

					<description>&lt;blockquote cite="neoneocon"&gt;We may not be able to place these historic events very well—although most of us can do it a lot better after 9/11 than we would have done before.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Most of your readers, yes.  In my case, I have to thank Victor Davis Hanson, you, and others.

But the typical American voter (is that a demographical slur?) is likely to think that Lepanto is a European basketball player.  We need to get the word out &lt;i&gt;somehow&lt;/i&gt;.  We need the few center-right newspapers to run articles; we need to convince Fox News to run well-advertised specials, and yes, we need to get HuffPo and Kos to mock us on the point, just to get the idea in front of people who have been kept ignorant.  A few of them will want to know more.  Not many, but a few now, and a few next fall, and a few next spring ....

&lt;blockquote cite="Artfldgr"&gt;in this idea groups like hammass can wage warfare of attrition from inside the state.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This is why we need to revisit our notion of The State.  Such an enquiry must go to the very roots of our understanding, which is why I praise Bobbitt's &lt;i&gt;The Shield of Achilles&lt;/i&gt; at every opportunity.  I consider it a foundation text for the dilemmas we face at our current juncture.

The more immediate question is whether we must or should extend the benefits of civilization to those who will use those benefits to destroy civilization.  Answering this sometimes requires seeing the difference between the foundation and the superstructure.  Example: the Fifth Amendment is fundamental.  The Miranda ruling is a means of implementing it.  Ruling that when a suspect and his attorney are clearly gaming the rules surrounding Miranda or any other rule, those rules need not be applied is not destroying the Fifth Amendment, it is protecting it.

The laws of war allow summary execution on the battlefield.  When I see that photo of a Viet Cong shot by an ARVN officer, I am horrified not by the execution, but by the barbarity of the irregular fighter who cannot be trusted to honor his own declaration of surrender.  I am profoundly grateful that we are forever out of reach of that individual.  I will pray for him, but I am glad that he is dead.  If you don't understand this apparent contradiction, I urge you to seek to understand it, not as a pathology, but in the belief that as precious as this person's life is, it is not worth the harm that he has chosen to inflict.</description>

					<description>Ah yes. The old comparison between terrorist acts and highway accidents. 

That number, 300 a year sounds way too low, but Im sure somebody at Huffpo has gone over them and you can trust them.  Thats probably an average.  What was it?--3,000 dead in one morning in New York, how many in London and Madrid?  Lockerbie, Vienna Airport massacre?

But if you average them up, no big deal.  Right Chris?

Just like a any ole highway accident.</description>

					<description>Neo, have you ever visited the Cabinet War Rooms in London  (http://iwm.org.uk)? You can almost feel Churchill's presence.  The bookshop has recipe books that helped people deal with rationing. I remember looking through them and trying to imagine what it was like to eat like that day after day, year after year. This is so far removed from our current involvement in the war.</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt; ... the total number of people killed worldwide by genuine al-Qaeda types and assorted wannabes outside of war zones since 9/11 averages about 300 per year ... &lt;/i&gt;

The operative conditional in the above statement is &lt;i&gt;"outside of war zones."&lt;/i&gt; One can be sure that 'war zone' would be defined in such a way as to minimize the number of deaths and is itself a false distinction. Much the same apology could have been made for WW2-era Nazis.

To my mind any politically motivated, organized violence by actors not officially claimed as part of any nation's military, whether directed toward soldiers or civilians, should be considered terrorism. Isn't it who is violent, not who they are violent against, that should define a terrorist? We are not trying to identify their victims; we are trying to identify THEM and their activities. At the very least violence in a war zone purposefully directed against noncombatants should be part of the stats. 

Furthermore, the author, John Mueller, does not list a source for these figures - par for the course for terrorist-apologizers/sympathizers/anti-war dupes. One suspects they are plucked steaming out of his own ass. 

Far more trustworthy and indicative are figures from sources such as the National Counterterrorism Center. The very first sentence of their Report on Terrorist Incidents – 2006 reads:

&lt;i&gt;According to open-source information, approximately 14,000 terrorist attacks occurred in various countries during 2006, resulting in over 20,000 deaths.&lt;/i&gt; 

And to really begin to comprehend the true significance of terrorism injuries should be included, not only deaths as in the NCTC report cited above, since a bomb wounds and maims many more than it kills.

					<description>I bet people will really be suprised the West has been at war with Islam for roughly 1400 years now.  I'm starting the war from when Abdel al-Rahmen crossed the Med in 711 AD and attacked Spain.  He was stopped in 732 by Charles Martel at Tours, France.</description>

					<description>Chris White cited:
"unless the terrorists are able somehow massively to increase their capacities, the likelihood that a person living outside a war zone will perish at the hands of an international terrorist over an eighty-year period is about one in 80,000. By comparison, an American’s chance of dying in an auto accident over the same time interval is one in eighty.”

First, the author's point is not that terrorism is not a problem, but that we are phobic.  If the former were his point, it would be as silly as dismissing the significance of murder because fewer are murdered than killed in traffic accidents. We probably are excessively in fear of terrorists.  However, we had some 2700 deaths in 2001, which in my math averages out to 900 a year since then, so perhaps we can be forgiven our phobia, if that's what it is.  I think it is more anger and indignation that keeps us so preoccupied with terrorism, like a tongue going to a sore tooth.  And a part of that anger is toward the people who want to pour oil on our troubled water by minimizing the atrocity and the perversity of Arab terrorism--or want to recast our upset as a kind of psychopathology.

Should we seek psychopathology, let's look for it among the creators of the atrocity, and their apologists, not among its victims.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris White cited:<br />
&#8220;unless the terrorists are able somehow massively to increase their capacities, the likelihood that a person living outside a war zone will perish at the hands of an international terrorist over an eighty-year period is about one in 80,000. By comparison, an American’s chance of dying in an auto accident over the same time interval is one in eighty.”</p>
<p>First, the author&#8217;s point is not that terrorism is not a problem, but that we are phobic.  If the former were his point, it would be as silly as dismissing the significance of murder because fewer are murdered than killed in traffic accidents. We probably are excessively in fear of terrorists.  However, we had some 2700 deaths in 2001, which in my math averages out to 900 a year since then, so perhaps we can be forgiven our phobia, if that&#8217;s what it is.  I think it is more anger and indignation that keeps us so preoccupied with terrorism, like a tongue going to a sore tooth.  And a part of that anger is toward the people who want to pour oil on our troubled water by minimizing the atrocity and the perversity of Arab terrorism&#8211;or want to recast our upset as a kind of psychopathology.</p>
<p>Should we seek psychopathology, let&#8217;s look for it among the creators of the atrocity, and their apologists, not among its victims.</p>

					<description>This war began when Muhammad left Mecca, exiled or simply frustrated with his years of non-progress there, for Medina with TEN followers.  And when he got to Medina he decided that Allah had to sanctify a change in plan.  He needed cash and he needed more followers to make his grand designs come true.  So, he had Allah issue the command to Gabriel and from thence to Muhammad's mind to raid the caravans.  Kill the men, capture the women and children and sell them into slavery, and take the booty of the caravans.  From that moment on, he attracted the criminal class of Medina and the disinherited younger sons of families there.  Allah was now at war with the unbelievers and Allah's Prophet was victorious everywhere afterwards, from the genocide against the Jews of the Banu Qurayza on out of Arabia to the four directions.

Sanctified by Allah and codified by the righteous caliphs after Muhammad, the command to jihad - to kill or convert the unbelievers - established Islam as the oldest totalitarian ideology.  War without end.

We in the West have, down through fourteen centuries, missed numerous opportunities to drive the stake into the heart of this bloodthirsty beast.  Every time we pass up a propitious moment to finish it off, we allow it to get stronger and become an even bigger menace to civilization and humanity.

al Bana, Hajj Amin al Husseini, and Sayyid Qutb only retrieved the eternal, uncreated, perfect, and unchanging words of Allah and reminded the Ummah of its duty.  They reinvigorated the ardor for the Sword of Allah.  The modern world and the values of liberty are not the cause of this revival.  Would not matter what historical epoch our values crystallized in.  Israel is not the cause of this war against us by Satan (Shaytan, in Arabic).  Their duty is to either convert us or kill us.  One other option, open only to Jews and Christians they consider to be, for their own purposes not our need, People of the Book, is the option of the Dhimma.  To be second class citizens in our own lands, paying the crushing jizya with humiliation, and having no legal standing whatsoever.  And no right to defend ourselves against capricious violence that can be visited upon us.

I would chose death rather than be a dhimmi.

This war is not over unless and until we become ruthless enough and moral enough to slay the Beast.  But we won't get there unless and until we read their Qur'an and read ahadith Bukhari and Muslim, reading the life of the Prophet and his deeds.  Do not trust those among us who have sold out and try to pour honey in our ears, telling us that Islam means "peace."  It means "submission" and that is a calamity for the world.

Right now, believe it or not our worst enemies are the collaborators and traitors among us who run interference for this enemy of all humanity and delude themselves into thinking that they can use Islamic jihad to destroy the West and then seize power from the Muslims.</description>

					<description>Chris White I agree with your sensible view.
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q &lt;a HREF="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/04/20060410-1.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Morning, Mr. President.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I have a more general question about the United States' work to democratize the rest of the world. Many have viewed the United States' effort to democratize the world -- especially nations in the Middle East -- as an imposition or invasion on their sovereign rights. Considering that it was, in fact, the Prophet Mohammed who established the first known constitution in the world -- I'm referring to the constitution he wrote for the city of Medina --and that his life and the principles outlined in his constitution, such as the championing of the welfare of women, children and the poor, living as an equal among his people, dissolving disputes between the warring clans in Arabia, giving any man or woman in parliament the right to vote and guaranteeing respect for all religions, ironically parallel those principles that we hold most precious in our own Constitution. I'm wondering how might your recently formed Iraq Study Group under the U.S. Institute for Peace explore these striking similarities to forge a new relationship with Iraqis and educate Americans about the democratic principles inherent in Islam?&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

					<description>I disagree strongly with the sanitized historical revisionism of the quote highlighted by "Truth" above.  Clearly, someone who has not read the Islamic scriptures or law.  It sounds like something from the mouth of one of those who pour honey in our ears, like Karen Armstrong or Prof. John Esposito or his colleague, Prof. John Voll.

I will take my stand with what my own eyes and mind have absorbed, and the scholars whose work I have read.

I also have first hand experience of living with a devout, strict Iranian Shia when I was an undergrad.  I know these people, and the wellspring of their raison d'etre.

Conservatively estimated, over the course of fourteen centuries of jihad has resulted in the murder of over 270 million human beings.  And it was done the low-tech way, so the scope of its savagery even exceeds the butcher's bill served up by Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh.  They did it the modern, high-tech way.  It is said that Tamerlane built mountains with the skulls of the beheaded the shaheeds accomplished in the Hindu Kush and India.  Let us not forget that in the late sixties the faithful of Allah murdered well over a million Hindus and apostate Muslims in Bangladesh and Pakistan.  I could go on and on.  They were all strictly in observance of the very letter of Allah's commands, as the Qur'an is upheld, by every orthodox Islamic scholar through the centuries on down to the present coterie at al Azhar, as a divine dictation.

Western appeasers are cowards and moral reprobates.  There is a ton of blood on their hands.  And from the 7th century on, when the minions of Allah broke out of the Arabian Peninsula, there was no lack of collaborators and traitors in the target societies and states conquered by Islam.  The blood of the innocent is on their hands too, and they shall answer for it before the throne of God.</description>

					<description>One of the first stages of jihad conquest, and this is true throughout their history, involves weakening the target states and societies from within, using every manner of deception (taqiyya and kitman) to rope in the useful idiots who will be their agents of enervation.  They will forge alliances with political and religious factions that are out of power.  And they will use terror as a means to weakening the target society.

Right now, they are in the phase of reconstituting their power.  Mostly dispersed, but they do have states as well who share the burden of fighting in the way of Allah.

After weakening the target, then they brought their armies to bear in order to deliver the coup de main.

If you do not study the detailed history of jihad conquest AND the history of what befell the dhimmi peoples, you will not understand the present.  They have a template that is both defining of who they are and maps their way to victory.

The ignorance of it all, combined with the reckless and senseless, post-modernist self-destruction we are experiencing, will put us in a precarious position.</description>

					<description>I wonder if "truth" is the same commenter who goes by the name "Truthmonger" over at "Newsbusters?"  That "truthMonger" claims to be a "Fundie Christian" but is always telling people to "partner with Islam" on conservative political issues.  People have been round and round with him on that site.
I do not wish to be mean to muslims.  But "partner with them"? 
How about controlling their immigration rates to the WEST?  That would be a good start.
That ain't gonna happen with any of the top three Canidates.  They are all open borders.  Come on in all Reconquistadores and Jihadists!
We are so screwed.
 Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo may have bought us some time. But the moderates gave us McAmnesty before super Tuesday even got there for many of us to vote. Those of us who are seeing the Mexican flags pop up all around our towns in Texas already see what is coming next.
These NeoCons did not wake up till 9-11. They are a bit slow on the draw- Now they give us McAmnesty. ( Actually I should also throw some blame at Mike "Give me a Mexican Consulate in Arkansas" Huckabee who bled off a lot of the ignorant Conservatives votes.)
On top of that all three canidates are buying into Human caused global warming Socialist power grab.  Just think how high fuel and food prices may go once they start taxing Carbon Dioxide. Better pay off all your debts,learn to how to grow a garden, plant fruit trees and vines, and buy a lot of ammo- and get out of the big cities- thats where the food and fuel riots will start.</description>

					<description>Fredjr:  You are religous, I am not, in any sectarian sense, though we probably share the same general principles of morality.  I agree with your arguments in that same generality.  I view the excesses of Judeo-Christianity in the same way as I view the excesses of Islam:  Christains burning witches and Muslim terrorists are of the same ilk in my eyes:  preachments of love and mercy, acts of unapeakable brutality and terror.

Neither excess excuses the other.

It is absurd to argue Islamic excesses are due to a few extremist when Muslim Arab governments support and promote the excesses in word and funding.  If Islam is a religion of peace, then surely all Muslims ought to denounce the Arab governments underwriting terrorism, jihadism, and supporting Sharia inhumane honor killings done in the name of Allah.

Regardless of religious sect, you protect and defend your life or perish.  And regardless of what others may say, it is their actions you must defend against.</description>

					<description>J.B.: McAmnesty, like Bush, lives in the environment of the corporate world that envision a Mexican-Canadian-American economic bloc that will compete with the Euro and Asiatic blocs.  That means, among many things, that we need a peasant class to compete with China.  The illegal alien is the next best thing to a slave.  I never imagined I'd hear the arguments I've heard for unrestricted immigration, and, but for the fact so many of the arguments were made by liberals, I think they would have been denounced as advocating a slave class as necessary to U.S. prosperity.  As much as anything else in the coming century, the struggle will be American sovereignty against corporate economics.  Want to make any bets?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>J.B.: McAmnesty, like Bush, lives in the environment of the corporate world that envision a Mexican-Canadian-American economic bloc that will compete with the Euro and Asiatic blocs.  That means, among many things, that we need a peasant class to compete with China.  The illegal alien is the next best thing to a slave.

					<description>You need not kill all muslims or even many of them. You positively need to kill their dream, their hope to win. This can be done by many ways, the most important means are not military, but psychological warfare. Exactly in this aspect West fail miserably. What is really needed?
Terrorize terrorists! Kill them everywhere, may be, in small numbers, but in so fashion that nobody feels himself in security, as Israeli do. Make all proponents, all propagandists, financiers, lawyers, journalists on enemy side a fair game. Organize world-wide conspirational death squads, units of professional killers; compile a list of targets, publish it, and advertise widely every success. Declare imprisoned terrorists hostages and publicly execute announced number of them for every terrorist act.</description>

					<description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;It’s very difficult to convince the “civilized” that their “civilization” is their weakness.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Having grown up the Southern U.S. and having a very racist father, it was a very bizarre experience hearing almost the same comments being made against Iraqis that I heard as a child being made against blacks. The same venom, for lack of a better word, was coming out of their mouths as they denigrated the people, culture and societal norms of Iraq.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Equally disturbing for me was the colonialist attitude of most of the business- connected internationals (most of the contractors I talked to were South African or English and most of the businessmen were American and all except one were white males). Remarks like, “We have to show them how it’s really done”, or “They don’t have a clue how it’s done in the West”. There seemed, to me at least, to be no attempt at understanding, much less respecting, the culture of the people they ostensibly are here to work in partnership with.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I have to assume the racist attitudes of the security contractors stems from the necessity for a human being to dehumanize and marginalize another human being in order to kill them. Dehumanization is a mind game military-leaders the world over have used to indoctrinate recruits with and it also seems to be the case with these mercenary soldiers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
The colonialist attitudes are harder to grasp. Is colonialism something unique to white, male Westerners? (And I include myself in this category.) Do we see Iraq the same way as Kipling saw India, that of being “the white man’s burden” to bring Western civilization to the uncivilized Arabs and Kurds?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Those three days at the airport are woven deeply into my spirit. I’m wondering if I have swallowed poison that will harden or embitter me. Or perhaps I have been blessed with a homeopathic remedy of absorbing just enough poison to begin to cure me of my own subconscious racist and colonist tendencies and then be able to help others cure themselves. Time will tell.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I pauses these questions hereto you:

1- Why early Americans fighting the British and they won their independence from their Christian Brother and sister who they cam from?

2- How many people who are &lt;i&gt;civilized&lt;/i&gt; from US went for decades in Saudi and gulf countries working earning and enjoying their time their till now?

3- how many US military and civilians are on the ground for decade in Iran Saudi and gulf state who are Muslims countries &lt;i&gt;using every manner of deception (taqiyya and kitman)&lt;/i&gt; no one killed and hearts their for been a Christian of Jew?

4- How many touring Muslims countries for decades who are Christian and Jew did they humiliated and killed because they are Christians or Jew or "civilized"?</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;as Israeli do.&lt;/i&gt;

Sergey, ……one thing telling about you, as a common and obvious.

Early 1898 most the Zionists who support Theodore Herzl and on , look very obvious and odd most those Zionists from East Europe are Muslim/Arab hater no surprises.
 
Look to H. Kissinger, Madelyn Albright and all the list of names will tell you more parallel and similar personalities, hatful attitude against Muslims/Arab specially bringing Islamic time when Othman Sultan flourishing in Europe by trying to see half of the empty class with cherry picking of bad moments that every empire had and have in their long time along the history of civilization from Babylonians till now with US.

Surprisingly Theodore Herzl how mush he did believe in his theory he failed to convinced his son and his daughter with his believes!</description>

					<description>Russian security forces have a huge experience in suppressing terrorists. After assasination of Alexander II a special task force, "Okhranka" was organized. In ten years dozens of terrorist groups were annihilated. This was done by using agents-informers and agents-provocateur, so recruiting new members to terrorist groups became deadly: there were more police agents in the job than real recruiters. So in late 1890 terrorist activity in Russia was practically crushed.</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;Clearly, someone who has not read the Islamic scriptures or law. It sounds like something from the mouth of one of those who pour honey in our ears,&lt;/i&gt;

I bet you in this is from your country, she spoke well and very clear and detailed points about Islam.
If I to judge here, you are mirroring yourself very clearly what you said about that lady who pausing the question to GW&#62; Bush.

Never mind she is American, its very easy to find who she is, go look what she knew about Islam might a good start for you to learn some thing good not &lt;i&gt;like something from the mouth of one of those who pour honey in our ears&lt;/i&gt; as you doing here</description>

					<description>No, colonialism is not something pertinent to whites. Every civilization at more advanced stage than others do the same. Romans colonize Greeks, Greeks colonize barbarians, Chinese colonize many west-Indian countries. But in our epoch the most advanced civilization is Western, that is why it colonize or otherwise
