#4 Fred that was wonderfully eloquent. You hit the nail on the head. You are right, a thousand times right. I will never forgive, never forget what happened on September 11. I watched it pop right out of my TV screen in 2001, at my mum's house in Sydney.

I will never forget that night. never.

However - there is another enemy. They are worse than the Islamics because they have the capacity to defeat us militarily. They have nukes, lots of them. China is waiting for us. If we bleed our strength on the Islamics too much China is waiting. Behind her, Russia.

The best retort to the Islamic world is for the USA to remain strong, proud and free. And limit islamic immigration please.

#6 anon1, the most potent enemy of all is the internal one - the perversion mindset as espoused by Obama and his leftie chums - that America and the west are in fact inferior to their enemies, or at best, equal partners. The Islamic world and China are bone-headed and impotent slave societies if faced up to with resolve. Superstitious, irrational, perverted moral-equivalence inhumanity is the rot that can take away that resolve. If it is successfully countered the west will always prevail over the miserable hordes of darkness.

#9 mindset (that)America and the west are in fact inferior to their enemies, or at best, equal partners

A terrifying book from 30-some years ago develops this theme - 'In the Camp of the Saints' by a Frenchman (they saw that mindset first) named Jean Raspail.

#10 For any one that cares apparently Amazon sells it even though it's apparently not PC at all.

#11 I'll echo everyone else: splendid article, Fred.

While you're remembering how we felt HERE, remember the scenes of the Arab world literally exploding in ORGASMIC JOY over the attack.

Round Two of this war is going to begin soon. And we have a big-eared sympathizer in the White House.

#12 Fred - these words of yours, will stay with me forever, "our children to live as property of a god." Hauntingly true, unveiling a religion for what it really is.

#14 nicely put, Fred. It's pretty obvious wherever Islam holymen reign there's a f*cked up culture, a retreat in technology, freedom, liberty, sanity, and grace. They're crude tyrants in teh name of Allan, but mostly their own power and control. I expect we will have to start taking the fight to the Madrassas, their ISI controllers, Afghan Talib sympathizers and Pakland in general to have any long term improvement in Afghanistan and our security. It will become tougher to deny the duplicitous nature of Karzai, the Pashtun traitors, and our "ally" Pakistain. I say bring back Dostum. He's tanned, rested, and ready. Shipping containers full of our enemies, dying in the sun or cold...but I'm a softie

#15 As someone who has borrowed Fred's bandwidth mostly for snark, I've used this occasion to hit the tip jar.

Thanks, Fred, for this site.

#18 Lest we forget

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Always

#19 We will indeed remember them. Thank you, Oscar, MacNails, and families. (MacNails, when did you go to the Antipodes?)
