| Will we fight terrorism or not? The fictional hero of the television series “24” may be the only true defense we have against terrorism in this country. We just have to hope and pray that Osama and the other cave-dwelling Muslim terror rats get Fox on their satellite service. If they do, and they watch counter-terrorism agent Bauer interrogating murderous vermin using any means necessary, they may actually start to worry that the American people have the will and strength to defend themselves against any enemy using whatever means is necessary. On the other hand, if they are watching cable TV news, we are doomed because they will discover that we are quivering neurotic feel-good do-nothing pansies who would rather make friends with terrorists than make them talk. Never mind the 3,000 dead Americans from September 11. Or worse yet, never mind the 3 million dead Americans the first time we don’t stop Jihad Jim from blowing up his nuke bomb in the middle of Manhattan. All that matters — if you get your world view from the politically correct folks at CNN, FNC and MSNBC — is acting by the “rules” and behaving yourself like proper gentlemen. It kind of reminds me of the battles between France and England in the 17th century where the commanders would enjoy a tea behind the lines while sending their troops forward in neat, orderly rows to “engage” the enemy and die. That gentlemanly form of slaughter worked fine until one side decided not to play by the rules. But the bloody French and Indian War on our own continent established that one man playing by his own rules could kill a dozen playing by gentlemen’s rules. Within a few years, the British had learned their lesson and stopped marching men to their deaths. |
