To my regret, I have to disagree. For the part of the US anyway. It seems to me that a vast number of people have already completely forgotten what fanatacism really means. I had dinner with a colleague a few weeks ago, a self-admitted liberal, and was appalled to hear that he still wants to "change the way of thinking" of the radicals. When asked point blank "So you don't believe there are at least a handful of radicals that absolutely won't change their mindset??", he conceded that there were. When asked what he proposed to do about them, he was unable to respond.
I so looked forward to hearing the liberal answer, that I almost forgot my steak was there. Unfortunately, as always, I never got it. Has there been a thread yet along the lines of, "Alright, liberal smartypants, what IS the answer to Islamic Jihad?"
