From the article, the domestic issue remains: The business of America is to show that a free society is possible. We are the friends of liberty everywhere, but we are the guardians only of our own, and we do not impose our ways on others: we only insist that they not try to impose their ways on us. Americans best export liberty by preserving our own.

In 2008 a high ranking Gaddafi regime element expressed his desire to annihilate a Western European nation with nuclear weapons.
Gaddafi himself called for Jihad against the same nation, i.e. he announced Libyan sponsored terror attacks.
That's hardly 'trying to be friendly.'
When Arab-Muslim tyrants are telling us that they want to kill us we should take them seriously, and maybe heed the lesson of the parable of the 'The Scorpion and the Frog.'
I do believe that NATO air power should be used to destroy Gaddafi's forces and, if possible to kill him and his clan.
We should do so for our sakes, to retaliate for decades of lethal Libyan aggression. To show the world that attacks on the West are a deadly mistake.
If the rebels are good guys the will reap a collateral benefit, if not they will have witnessed a demonstration of power and will know better than to attack the West.
The practice of forgiving, appeasing and rewarding unrepentant aggressors like Gaddafi or the Taliban is putting us all in grave danger.
Of course with BHO in the White House nothing will be done so this is just a pointless rant.

No matter how many Muslim gunmen shout Allahu akbar as they open fire on non-Muslims, at this point the dogmatic lines have been drawn: analysts in the top military and intelligence posts in the U.S. and Europe understand that Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists, and they have been taught to understand that that fact somehow frees them from the obligation of understanding the enemys belief-system and formulating effective ways to combat it.
I didn't need to read any more after that - game over.

No. Not just yet. There are those like Rep. Allen West (R-Fla) that understand the truth. And these dinosaur slaves to PC are going to be pushed out soon.
Will it be too late, I don't know. But everyone can help by gently educating anyone that will listen. Arm yourself with the facts, and resources to point folks to, and get busy.
I have been education friends, family and coworkers for quite sometime now. You have to start gently and not pile too much on them at once.
A side comment: these people pushing the ROP meme are going to eat nine miles of crap when the first really mass casualty attack occurs. Notice I said when, not if. And it is coming soon. Before the 2012 elections.
God Bless America, and good luck to you all.

My fear as well Secret Asian Man. My assessment for what it's worth, simultaneous or near-simultaneous attacks on at least 3 strategic financial areas; the economic hub of New York City being the prime target as it has in the past. Obama will move very quickly to Martial Law or something close to it by another, more PC name. Not wishing to let "a crisis go to waste" suspending the constitution will come naturally for him. We will then be introduced to FEMA regions and be told what "radio channel to turn to in the event of an emergency." I doubt this paper we're carrying around in our wallets will be worth a damn thing at that point. The wheels will have finally fallen off, not by economic betrayal or political failure, but by some distant evil foreign entity who cannot be readily identified and dealt with. The entire country will be in an import-export and banking lockdown. Electronic transfers and possibly communications will be suspended or disabled "due to the attacks or threats of new attacks." Accounts will be frozen both foreign and domestic. We then sit helpless under a do-nothing administration and await the next plague.

The first mass casualty attack already happened on 9/11. The ROP meme-pushers were active then, at the beginning of the formal inauguration of the Jihad. If 9/11 didn't kill that meme, nothing will, ever.
George W. Bush
Address at Islamic Center of Washington
delivered 17 September 2001, Washington, D.C.
When I visited East Berlin in the early 80s one on the prominent party slogans of billboards was 'Sozialismus und Frieden sind wesensgleich!'
('Socialism (i.e. Soviet Communism) and peace are essentially the same!').
The implication was, of course, that opposition to Soviet Communism was equal to warmongering.
What was Bush trying to tell us about non-Muslims here?

Please pardon this brief departure from my normal folderol, but every so often a member of the chattering class issues a nugget of stupidity so egregious that no amount of mockery will suffice. Particularly when the issuer of said stupidity holds a Nobel Prize.

When the man plays it straight, lasers have nothing on him for sharpness.
Mr. Krugman (please note - I don't call anyone "Doctor" unless they can write me a prescription for drugs) doesn't mention where he gets his dropout statistic from. I suspect a database somewhere in his lower intestine.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
