#1 In this struggle, our enemies hide in plain sight, but Western governments will not confront them in plain sight.

The unwillingness to directly face the enemy means that the government treats us all as the enemy in its fig leaf dance of legalistic rituals.

#2 I think folks are unwilling to give up civil liberties when everytime we see the farse that is TSA and we see the government isn't seriously trying to stop terrorism because they can't even name any person/country/religion that might be worth extra scrutiny.

#3 In this struggle, our enemies hide in plain sight, but Western governments will not confront them in plain sight.

"Islam is Peace"
President George W Bush, September 17, 2001

The Western political class never had the will to do as much as hurt the enemy's feelings.

Rather than fight an open and declared violent enemy they'll build a police state that sets its sights at the entire populace of Western nations, excluding Muslims of course.

The likes of John McCain and Lindsey Graham are tough and hawkish, all right.

But are they really on our side?
