Only history will tell. All war Presidents are unpopular. Even Churchill was hated (yes I know he wasn't a president) but now he's revered. Food for thought. It's too early to tell. And the economy's doing damn well. Let's wait and see. I do think he made some miscalculations (but it's war, man) but I am withholding all judgement for ten or more years. :p We don’t necessarily know YET if it’s The Stupid Party.

I'm yawning. who really cares? lets say there is one and a few londoner's go down. so what. what exactly are we going to do about it? come on folks, you know. spit it out. that's right NOTHING. bush and Blair are going to jump up and down in their playpens and make idle threats that have no meaning. korea has nukes and iran is getting theirs. the leaders of iran, syria, hamas, hezzbollah etc are the terror generals and leaders. everyday they get up and sip their lattes' and arrange for a few more infidels to be killed. we let them live. we deserve everything that happens to us. sorry london, but it's your turn. this circle jerk will always lead back to the essential question: are we in a war with terrorists/radical islam and the states that sponsor them?

yes or no? simple answer please. save all the UN speak for the losers that love Darfur and Rwanda type results.

if the answer is no then lets just stop crying the blues about murderous thugs. history is littered with them. let them keep killing until they die natural deaths–after all they couldn’t possibly kill all of us?!

however if the answer is yes then why are the leaders and the advisers of iran, syria, sudan, hamas, hezzbollah and al sadr still alive? they are the world’s leading terror leaders. until they are all killed at the same time without warning, this war is bullshit. we deserve every bad thing that may befall us–and many things are being planned by these folks right now. that future blood will be on the hands of all you nuanced thinkers who think war is some kind of video version of the old board game “Diplomacy”. letting our soldiers and civilians get killed everyday to placate world opinion and do the right thing is contemptible.

Who cares…

But, in the spirit of the season, I am optimistic that our crusader spirit will overcome the spirit of limp wristedness with which we are currently infected, and go on to pen Mohammed back in his sandbox.

I was flipping through the stations and landed on Glen Beck. He was going through some of the indoctrination and propaganda foisted upon the citizenry of Islamic countries. The Jews are portrayed as the source of all of the world's problems. America is their accomplice. Children watch cartoons of young people blowing themselves up shouting Allan Akbar to kill the Jews. TV shows that "show" the Jews killing children, taking their blood to make motzas and for use in Passover activities. Caricatures of Condi Rice with her hands dripping of blood. George Bush and Ariel Sharon drunk on blood contained in what looked like a liquor bottle. And so on...... What Ahmadinejad says to the naive Western media is very different than the speeches he gives in Iran. He talks of how America and the West will bow before Iran and the Caliphate. Crowds of tens of thousands chant death to Israel and death to America. Of course the MSM does little to expose Americans to this. (Roger, perhaps PJM could do an in depth analysis of the culture of hate and death of the Islamists and how that is sowing the seeds of an epic battle between Islam and the West.) There is no or little reality testing by the masses. Of course, the Holocaust never happened. How do you fight generations who have been taught to hate? This is like reading and watching flim of Germany under Hitler in the 1930s. The dehumanization of the Jews, of Christians and the West makes it easier for Muslims to overlook the horror of what has been done to and what is being planned on being done to innocent people. Meanwhile, Europe appeases in fear of its own growing Muslim minorities and the liberals here think that somehow they can reason with unreasonable people. The danger is great and is growing every day. Iran must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Why anybody would believe that Iran, which is awash in oil, needs nuclear technology for energy is beyond my comprehension. What to do is the question for this generation.
