Tectonic Plates are Shifting
Battle lines are indeed being drawn, yet there is a sense that we are in an interregnum, waiting for the next move by our adversaries. During wartime, societies regress and splitting takes on great prominence. Nuance tends to be lost when people feel threatened. The left has made their choice to ally with the Islamists (an opponent of Guantanamo actually suggested on NPR this morning that since we can find no country to take inmates from Gitmo that it is our responsibility to free them and offer residence in the United States). The Islamists continue and accelerate their assaults on Western freedoms and promise more to come. Horrors occur on a regular basis now and there is a sense of an inexorable slide; storm clouds are gathering. Meanwhile, the Democrats eagerly leap on a sex scandal to avoid addressing the war. ("What war?") Their behavior would be the stuff of comedy routines if there was any justice in the world. Posted by: SR-71 2006-10-05 |
