The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Shana Tova! The year is starting out rather well, with the stupendous military and intelligence achievements of the last few weeks showing the Muslim and Arab world that there is indeed a fist inside the glove of Israel.

As any student of Islam will tell you, it is a religion (or more accurately a political philosophy) that recognizes power, and more importantly for the future fortunes of the West...it recognizes weakness. Sadly it sees weakness in abundance in every Western capitol, and Islam will continue its march across the West until a 21st Century King Sobieski leads his Hussars against it and crushes its expansionism...for now.

But we have Israel...tiny little Israel...leading the charge. It is not big enough or strong enough, nor does it have the support of the West; in fact quite the opposite. But at least it will defend its neighborhood against the depredations of Islam and its current representative: Iran. Even the Mullahs are reeling, with Khamenei in hiding and their vaunted missile force neutered in an attack against Israel just a few nights ago. Israel's very Western love of life and its people was the driving force behind the incredible success of its defenses...shelters for its people, and a technological marvel in its missile defenses.

Contrast that with the billions that Hamas and Hezbollah spent on terrorist infrastructure... under the homes of their so-called people!

That is the difference...and that is what will save the West. When we rise up and say, "Enough!" and begin to defend our people and our culture and our institutions from the hordes that mean to drag us back to the 7th Century.

When will that happen? Who knows! Will it happen at all? Yes. There is a spark in all of us that desires freedom and liberty. Eventually it will win out. Perhaps not before we descend into the darkness of totalitarianism, or perhaps we will rise up before that...
