My take on this goes something like this. World War 3 was won by the
republics against the Soviet Union, circa 1991. This is currently World War
4, and its being fought against terrorism. Terrorism from whom? Terrorism
from Islamic Fundamentalist Muslims. This war will take a long time, and
victory by the USA is by no means assured. Like the Cold War before it, this
war is ideological. What is at stake? For whatever reason, as is now being
demonstrated with that London educated sheik, who is on the run from the
authorities (allegedly). This fellow, along with millions of fellow Muslims
yearn for the destruction of America and the founding of Sharia, and a new
Muslim ascendency.
So what to do on either side of the Atlantic? Well, like the Cold Warm,
before it, life did not stop, either intellectually or culturally, because we
were locked in a struggle with the Soviets. Waiting for America to
'cool-down' is a waste of your time. The Islamic opponents (enemies) wish the
physical destruction of this nation and will acquire nukes, gas, or
bioweapons, to achieve this. Perhaps (I am not being sarcastic) Europe can
and should sit this one out. Placating the Wahabbis, and their allies will do
no good. What may come out of this is, hopefully, and accelerated move
towards renewable resources for transportation, and electricity. This would
end the war years quicker.
