Well, I think that, while not necessarily agreeing with, you have to give credence to the other side sincerely believing in what they say. The far left seems to have done a weird melding of Marxism and the old colonial economic model of Mother Countries enriching themselves at the expense of colonies. As a result they view U.S. Capitalism as cynically and greedily deepening the poverty and misery of the Third World. Thus they believe the Third World has legitimate grievances against the West, and it is incumbant upon the West to address those grievences. In short, the war has been caused by the West.

I don’t agree with that line of thought at all, but I can follow the logic of it. The Collectivists in the EU and the UN can ignore the Sudan, because addressing that issue doesn’t strike to what they see as the root of the problem. On the other hand, Isreal is vastly more affluent than the Third Worlders, so they must be part of root of the problem.

I think a little patience is needed with our Western Collectivist knuckleheads, I believe they eventually will come around. I say that because I see three blocks orbiting each other in the conflict. The Conservative Capitalists, the Collectivists, and the Islamists. I believe the root of the war is not in Western actions or inactions, but in the decay of Islam as a world power. It is not surprising to me that educated Arabs are leading the Jihad. The can see most clearly the disparity between the Secular West and Islam. They can also see most clearly that Modernity both erodes their religion and seduces their people. Not wanting to surrender to the West, they create an eratz orthodoxy that will bring Allah’s favor back to them. Ghostdancers.

As much as we shy away from the notion, this is a religious war. As such, once the Collectivists realize they are kaffirs just like the Capitalists, who are they going to side with?
