Do we have the ability, the determination, the will to win the war brought to our doorstep so dramatically ten years ago?
I admit that I increasingly doubt it......western civilization, the absolute apex of human development, is too damn spoiled, lazy and full of narcissistic guilt to get down in the mud and kick Islamist arse..........we can't even really figure out that we have a problem!!!!!
The best piece I have read yet on the subject:

The best piece I have read yet on the subject:
One example: Lady Eliza Manningham-Buller, the former head of MI5, Britain's storied intelligence service, last week called the 9/11 attacks "a crime, not an act of war." She did not explain why she thought using hijacked planes as missiles to destroy the political, military, and financial centers of the free world was akin to a bank robbery. She did not cite other instances in which common criminals seek no monetary benefit, kill themselves during the commission of their crimes, and call that "martyrdom."
National Security Adviser Tom Donilon said in a recent speech that he and President Obama know what the Iranians are against but "what are they for?" Have Donilon and Obama read nothing that Iran's revolutionaries have written? Have they heard nothing that Ayatollah Ali Khameini and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have said? Let me boil it down: They are for restoring to Islam the power and glory it enjoyed a millennium ago. They are for the defeat of the Great Satan and the Little Satan and anyone else who defies Allah's will as they interpret it.
