#11  All of Asia and large parts of Africa, and even Europe, is slowly turning into a mini-Iraq or Afghanistan - even if Prez Barack sends US troops into Pakistan, the Militants will had weakened and carved out locally controlled areas elsewhere in Asia by then. IMHO if the US is still involved in heavy fighting in Afghanistan or Pakistan 2010-2012, and Iran successfully goes nuclear by the same time, the US would've lost the GWOT, Asia, and maybe even Africa. US global superpower status will be seriously affected and damaged - the US will be on the defensive around the world.

#8  My gosh! The next thing you are gong to tell me is that we don't have a president-in-waiting who is going to lead us to Paradise. Please! Enough of the reality. We've lost our financial bubbles. At least allow us our PC bubbles.

#7  Bravo! I'm right there with this guy. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The stakes are too high now. To tolerate the intolerate is no longer tolerable.
Not when you are facing the kind of threats these monsters are intent on seeing through.

#6  So enough. No more empty talk. No more idle promises. No more happy ignorance, half measures, or appeasement-minded platitudes. The time for hard-nosed, uncompromising action hasn't merely come – it's been overdue by seven years. The voice of our brothers' blood cries out from the ground.

I enjoyed the artilce, but I'm disappointed the author did not say what "hard-nosed, uncompromising action" he recommends we take.

#5  He absolutely sums it up. The worldwide problem is that we have no leadership that can see the obvious, act upon the threats, AND communicate it all to the populace. Lack of leadership and a press that has sunk to a marketing and propaganda tool is killing is, literally and figuratively.
