#17  The only weapon left out of the conguering arsonal was the two edged sword of the Christian faith, a.k.a. The Word.

#16  Sadly, if the definition of victory is "imposing your will on the enemy", we aren't on the winning side.

memorialize May 15, 2005

Mohammedans, ever magnanimous,
On 5/15 almost unanimous:
As dozens march peacefully,
Millions are blissfully
Missing, en masse. Pusillanimous.

There's fifteen seconds of infamy, anyway. I'll work on it.

#14  Every once in awhile I go through and weed the blogroll. They seem to go quicker than I can wave goodbye.

#13  That is what is pathetic, that although there are plenty of law-abiding citizen and "against" violence, they refuse to come out and denounce Islamic terrorism.

#12  I also think rantburg should memorialize May 15, 2005.

That was the day of the well publicized, much endorsed Muslim march against terrorism in Washington DC. There were fewer than 100 people, many of whom were not muslim.

#11  Does Rantburg's blogroll still work? Last time I checked, it was full of dead links.

#10  Same here Frank, ever since the beginning when I went through Insty's Blog Roll. the 'burg, Insty and Tim Blair are the only ones I still follow.

I was and am very disappointed by GWB's wimpy response. Some places in the mid-east should have ceased to exist.

#7  We have done nothing on the ideology front. We should have been denouncing the evil in Quran and Islam and having Muslims leaving Islam by the m
illions. In fact we are in full retreat.

#6  Should've sanctioned wetwork on those known responsible, however high up it went.

Sixteen years of service, Fred. Thank you. I've followed you from the first I heard of you on Glenn Reynold's blog

#5  All of those 9/11 terrorists were either Soddies or Yemenis. And yet we still kowtow to the Soddy king. Oil be damned. It makes no sense.

#4  This isn't 'day trading.' You can't simply annihilate the enemy and expect 'endless wars' to continue.

#3  The 'kinder gentler' war strategy. How's that worked out for you? /rhet question

#2  ...I've always thought that what should have happened in that first week was 41 standing up and saying, "There will be blood."

And meaning it. And doing it. Level Kabul. Take down anything even resembling military power in Iraq, and telling the Iranians as a matter of national policy that our response to any further terror attacks would be swift, brutal, and overwhelming force. The nation would have backed him, and the world would have sat down, shut up, and looked the other way.

Instead, we have...this.

#1  I don't know what's sadder. The idiots who think it was all our fault because we "don't understand and deserved it" or the idiots who think it "was a conspiracy by the CIA and whoever else they can think off".
