American Political leaders are more interested in jockying for position at the feeding trough of the Public Treasury than they are in Muslim Fundlementalism.

The American people are kept in the dark as to the realities of the threat from Islam. Nobody wants to scare the goose that lays the Golden Eggs.

Americans should be aware that being MR Nice Guy doesn't work in Central Asian and ME cultures...they view it as weakness, its a hard land and hard people. As such the use of force is necessary to get your point across. Liberals seem to think everybody thinks rationally, forgetting the tribal nature of the inhabitants.

The West in general is at a disadvantage in fighting a will of the wisp war. The Western Bureaucratic model demands that we quantify instead of qualify our successes and losses. This is not a war of machinery but of ideas and WILL.

In spite of recent revisionist history the US had the WILL to win WW2 at any cost. We were on a mission from Gawd. Today that will seems to have been sapped, nobody thinks that they have to sacrafice any sweat or blood to achieve their ends. Everybody is led to believe that the land of milk and honey will go on forever. Sadly this delusional state is not the case, ask the Chinese what they think.

The USA is still a Titanic economic power and will keep rolling on impervious to the nibbling at the sides by other economies and insurectionists bent on a better world according to them. However this Titanic power has allready hit the iceberg and the facade is begining to crack. Toyota a Japanese Company is now the #1 Automaker in the world. AMEN.
