How Do You Solve a Problem Named Sharia?

In his typical fashion, Mark Steyn points out how Iran has been consistently, methodically pursuing a quiet war against the West. The West, in turn, seems hell bent on ignoring the threat and convincing themselves that dhimmitude wouldn't be so bad after all, would it?

Even for the attention span impaired, Steyn's brevity is as humorous as it is chillingly stark:

Anyone who spends half an hour looking at Iranian foreign policy over the last 27 years sees five things:

1. Contempt for the most basic international conventions;
2. Long-reach extraterritoriality;
3. Eeffective promotion of radical Pan-Islamism;
4. A willingness to go the extra mile for Jew-killing (unlike, say, Osama);
5. An all-but-total synchronization between rhetoric and action.

I pray that the West can wake up before it is too late.
