#1 It's too bad Communism started failing thousands of years ago because that would be a perfect counter-point to "Westerners have a hard time believing that anyone would want to abide by the Islamic world view which denies mankind's desire for freedom."

#3 The only way to ensure that jihadists' demonic views are defeated is by stridently defending and upholding the fundamental principles on which the Free World is based.

Instead, we are treatedboth here and abroadto deafening silence from our political and religious leadership. It is difficult to imagine a more sincere betrayal of liberty and freedom's most basic tenets.

#5 ...Ahmadinejad and his allies from Ramallah to Waziristan, from Gaza to Kandahar to Baghdad...

The real problem we're having is that Dinnerjacket and Co. also have allies in Manhattan, Hollywood, San Francisco, DC and every newsroom and faculty lounge in the country.

#6 Ahmadinejad is not interested in convincing the US government or even the majority of Americans to convert to Islam. He is interested in convincing adherents of totalitarian Islam and potential converts to the cause that they are on the winning side.

Even this is, I think, still stuck in Western realpolitik thinking. While I have no doubt he would be happy to bolster support amongst adherent of totalitarian islam - as if there was another kind of islam - his primary purpose was to deliver the traditional appeal to the kufar to convert or face annihilation. The man believes God is with him; everything else is secondary.

#7 "The man believes God is with him"

Then the sooner he meets his god - in HELL - the better for all concerned.
