#1 Extreme Anxiety ‐ Or How to Negotiate With Hostage-Holding Terrorists

If you don't cut off my head, I'll tell you the names of American journalists and reporters working for the CIA.

#2 The quote from that WWII veteran is spot-on, although I would that to render the Islamic world non-toxic is going to require doing a LOT more than it took to vanquish the Japanese Empire or the Nazis.

My assessment after the 9/11/2001 attacks is that like it or not, this will end up being nothing less than a war of extermination.

#4 Not necessarily Dave, they hate each other well enough.

Wet line, keep the tumbleweeds from blowing through, hit the spot fires, back burn when necessary.

Problem is, those mastheads are telling us to enjoy the wildfire as it throws embers across the city.

To paraphrase This Kind of War author Fehrenbach, The lesson of 9/11 is that it happened.

#5 My assessment is the Muslim world's desire to fight will mostly end once the West starts acting like the strong horse again instead of kow-towing to everyone as we've been doing lately. When that happens you'll see a lot more Muslim-on-muslim attacks again.
