A prediction on the outcome of the war
On the anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center, let's review where we stand:
Item one: So a bunch of people around the world hate us. Nothing new there. Always been that way, always will.
Don't know about the rest of you, but when I was a kid my dad told me that secure, competent people didn't need to worry about what other people thought of them.
To our overseas readers--and American leftists: One can certainly make the case that removing Saddam wasn't worth a single American life, but do you really want to argue that the world was a better place with Saddam and his bloodthirsty sons in power? Hey, go for it. Please use the comments section to explain in detail why it was right and proper for the U.S. to take out Adolph Hitler, and to try to depose Mr. Milosevic, but it was wrong to take out Saddam.
Item two: A few foreigners are gleeful that our Gulf Coast got clobbered by a once-in-a-century hurricane. For those who are reveling in our misfortune, Hey, knock yourselves out. Because in Katrina's wake a dozen nations we've helped in the past offered to help *us*.
Wow, maybe anti-U.S. sentiment really *isn't* universal, as the Left and their MSM friends have been implying.
And how many other nations could absorb a disaster that literally flattened 90,000 square miles? Did you America-haters notice that after Katrina hit, our nation's financial markets barely twitched? Do you realize what that implies?
Leftists/Dems claim Islam isn't "at war" with us, that there is no core group of Islamists that believes the Koran commands them to kill anyone who refuses to submit to Islamic law. Ignoring WTC93 and the bombing of the Cole, they believe any hostile actions by Moslems were triggered by Bush's decision to invade Iraq. This is highly amusing in its total denial of the historic record, but the beauty of it is that we're all gonna' get to find out whose position was right.
Oh, and if you're looking for some really good news? We're gonna' win. Freedom and democracy and self-determination are gonna' kick the livin' crap out of Islamic terrorism. Makes not a bit of difference that Muslims outnumber us non-Muslims.
The difference is, after the war ends we won't force you to either renounce your faith or be killed. We don't need to. Not necessarily because we're better people than you, but because our system, our way of life, is better-adjusted than yours for living in a technological age. We have this concept called tolerance.
You might want to consider it.

Gee - looks like no one is silly enough to take the challenge. Shucks ... I was hoping to watch ... *grin*
