Victor Davis Hanson Slices Like An F'n' HammerWe're still not very serious about fighting this war: Our elite commitment to multiculturalism also hamstrings us from taking the needed security steps. For 30 years, our schools have pounded home the creed that all cultures are of equal merit—or, more accurately perhaps, that no culture is worse than the West’s. Millions of Americans consequently aren’t sure whether radical Islam is just another legitimate alternative to the dominant Western narrative. Typical of this mind-set, UCLA English professor Saree Makdisi, excusing the London subway terrorism, wrote in the Los Angeles Times that deliberately butchering commuters is no worse than accidentally killing civilians while targeting terrorists in a war zone. “American and British media have devoted hours to wondering what would drive a seemingly normal young Muslim to destroy himself and others,” Makdisi said. “No one has paused to ask what would cause a seemingly normal young Christian or Jew to strap himself into a warplane and drop bombs on a village, knowing full well his bombs will inevitably kill civilians (and, of course, soldiers).” posted by Ace at 01:38 PM
CommentsMeh. Allah got it right way back in July: Isn't it a fact that Victor Davis Hanson has basically been re-writing the same column for three years now? Phrase the question this way: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely is it that VDH's next column will explain how the west will always prevail because of our open markets, freedom of expression, emphasis on science and technology, and robust military tradition?" This is just more of the same. Not that VDH's points aren't valid, but jeez, get a new routine. Posted by: Megan on October 31, 2005 01:50 PM
Come now, Megan, don't be so harsh. You wouldn't criticize a math professor for always ranting about how 2 + 2 = 4, would you? VDH may be saying the same things over and over again, but at least he says *the right things*, and says them well. I cut him slack for the repetition (not to mention his excellent books). That, and Ace told me to stick up for him when you punch him. He's either a gentleman who won't stand up to girls, or a drunken coward afraid of fightin' vagina.

The Islamist seduction also includes disturbed souls here in the U.S. who belong to no formal terrorist group but who emulate jihadists after exposure to their ideas. And while these terrorists are in jail, receiving care paid for by law abiding, tax paying American citizens, they are recruiting more terrorists from within. To hell with deportation. The same with putting them in prison where they can recruit and spread their poison. Conviction should result either in the death penalty or an attitude adjustment by semi-daily electro-shock therapy. Posted by: compos mentis on October 31, 2005 01:59 PM
Well we could just turn it into a contest? (Yes, I'm sure it's been done before). What to name the war against the bugs? Bug stomp? As far as liberals and the gwot? Ignore them. In a pinch .... be nice to them (I know, easier said than done. Thinking of them as 'challenged' can mnake it easier though).

Isn't it a fact that Victor Davis Hanson has basically been re-writing the same column for three years now? Staying on message ain't a sin. Posted by: JFH on October 31, 2005 02:05 PM
If VDH repeats himself (and he does), it's because his numbingly obvious points need to be repeated. A newspaper columnist in 1945 who said, "People, we're fighting the Germans and Japanese!" would have sounded kind of dumb. Then again, FDR didn't spend four years skirting the issue. Posted by: utron on October 31, 2005 03:08 PM
Yeah, considering other media outlets lack of focus/patriotism etc. Its good to see someone beat the drum, especially when they're so eloquent doing it. Posted by: Iblis on October 31, 2005 03:30 PM
Isn't it a fact that Victor Davis Hanson has basically been re-writing the same column for three years now? Someone really needs to pay attention more. Posted by: on October 31, 2005 04:28 PM
"an ideology that supports polygamy, gender apartheid, religious intolerance, hatred of homosexuals, and patriarchy..." Is he talking about Islamists? He sounds like the left talking about us rednecks. Posted by: Scot on October 31, 2005 04:37 PM
“No one has paused to ask what would cause a seemingly normal young Christian or Jew to strap himself into a warplane and drop bombs on a village, knowing full well his bombs will inevitably kill civilians (and, of course, soldiers).” Why asky why? A Jewish or Christian person would bomb civilians under only one condition - if he or she were a liberal leftist. The liberal left support the terrorists and every nasty regime they can find because they are afraid. They are afraid of going hungry and afraid of being sick and afraid of heat and afraid of cold and afraid of every damn thing, but they are most afraid of terrorists. Their solution is to capitulate, in the obvious and completely vain hope that if they take it up the ass they will be spared. Lord God spare us those who hide their sniveling cowardice behind so-called 'principles.' Posted by: BrendaK on October 31, 2005 05:23 PM
“No one has paused to ask what would cause a seemingly normal young Christian or Jew to strap himself into a warplane and drop bombs on a village, knowing full well his bombs will inevitably kill civilians (and, of course, soldiers).” That's because it's a very, very stupid question. Why am I not surprised that it's coming from a UCLA English professor? Posted by: model_1066 on November 1, 2005 02:06 AM
I read this article a while back, it explains why these leftists look at these third world terrorists with such admiration: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=4954 Its by a lefty who explains the whole idea behind immizeration and how the third world is the newest source of revolutionaries to the communist mind (since America has failed to produce immizerated workers. Instead, we have soccer moms and NASCAR dads). Posted by: joeindc44 on November 1, 2005 10:19 AM

Tousi TV: France closes embassy in Tehran, US Department of State advises all US citizens to get out of Iran
He's been saying that Tuesday will be a decisive day. Other reports say that Trump is in the last stages of planning an action against the mullahs. (And other reports say that Tucker Carlson Simp JD Vance is attempting to get Trump to agree to "negotiations" with Iran -- for fucking what? What do we get out of saving the fucking mullahs and letting them kill and torture their own people? Apart from Tucker Carlson getting to pretend he's a Big Man Influencer and that he's worth all the Qatari money he's receiving.)
