Maybe they don’t want to be moderated? Maybe by asking them to moderate we are asking them to kill their religion? What then Rod? I suspect you know the answer but it is too terrible to believe. Maybe I had it right back when I stated in an earlier post: Do we believe that the followers of Islam have been asleep though the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution? Did they miss the Emancipation of the Slaves in the United States some 140 years ago? Saudi Arabia as late as the 1960’s continued to allow slavery. We act as if Muslims have been children asleep for the last 500 years.

Our military has stood on the frontiers of civilization bearing the brunt of our enemies attacks. They have done so on a budget that would have been cause for shame had a Democratic President been responsible for it. Had a Republican Congress been dealing with a Democratic President who proposed to not raise military spending past some of the lowest points of the Clinton Years that Democratic President would have been ridden out of town on a rail. And yet here we stand 5 years into a 2 front war spending less than Clinton. Had a Democratic President stood by and allowed secrets to flow like water out of our intelligence agencies Republicans would have rightly demanded investigations into the Counter Intelligence arms of our intelligence agencies. Instead we are treated daily to secrets being paraded like cheap whores on some seedy corner of a dying city by an assembly of bureaucrats who seem to think that nothing will happen that no matter what burden we place upon our country we can win.

For the life of me I can't figure why the US cares about the UN and why our politicians won't take the necessary steps to combat our declared enemies. At times I think it's because the politicians are mostly lawyers and businessmen. Perhaps they are afraid of disrupting the "economy" with fast and decisive action? Could it be the love of money and commerce? We also face an anti-American media who would work to defeat us like they are doing now. It's hard to find people willing to sacrifice for truth and freedom. Thanks for an in-depth and cogent article.
