Today’s notable events bode ill for our culture…

Today is the 68th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 where the death toll was 2,390, mostly military personnel.  To put this attack in perspective, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the death toll was 2,752, mostly civilians.  Eight years later, we are still tiptoeing around the Islamic ideology that conceived, carried out, and applauded that attack.  How different our reaction was to Pearl Harbor.  Much more decisive, wouldn’t you say?

In Copenhagen today we have the global warming conference.  The world’s biggest danger was declared to be carbon monoxide.  It is likely that our world’s power structure will adopt global policies that will control the cars we buy, how much we drive, how much excrement our livestock produce, how much meat we’re allowed to eat, how often we can BBQ, and how deeply we exhale.   Our gullible media and Obama and his control freak administration is eating it up.

National news media reports an “American” as one of the terrorists in the attack on Mumbai, India, last year.  He was labeled “a Chicago man.”  Not once in the two separate reports I viewed (FOX and ABC) was it mentioned that this Muslim terrorist was a Muslim.   The insanity still insists we identify evil with America, and deny the evil of Islam.  Very odd.   We still hear the generals and media and Congress puzzling over the reasons for Islamic aggression and terror.

Random Thoughts About India, Pakistan, Islam...

Islamic "ambassadors" from Pakistan brought terror to Mumbai, India last week. These ambassadors are reported to have a multi-hundred acre training site inside Pakistan and support from Pakistan's equivalent to our CIA.

Meanwhile, John McCain and Secretary of State Rice visit India and, in effect, tell India not to get excited, declaring that the US will not allow India to strike back at Pakistan. That is like Great Britain telling the US not to strike Afghanistan or Osama bin Laden after 9-11.

At this moment President-elect Obama is vindicating himself vis a vie McCain when he declared yesterday referring to the Pakislami visit to Mumbai, "Sovereign nations obviously have a right to protect themselves."

This is consistent with and reenforces his campaign statement of August 1, 2008, when he declared, concerning Pakistan, "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will". He was criticised by Republicans, of all people, for being trigger happy and irresponsible.

Well, I would like to criticise John McCain for being a namby pamby milktoast who can't clearly express a consistent thought.
...McCain, and Obama.

Would decisive military action by India be impulsive? Hardly. Our own National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell recently expressed that the same group that carried out last week's attack is believed to be behind the 2006 Mumbai train bombings that killed more than 200. Terrorist bombings are an ongoing event in India. I wish we would all get over calling such bombers "suspected militants." What is the common denominator of 99.9% these terrorist acts? We know it's not the Methodists or the League of Women Voters. Hint: Its public relations team calls it "The Religion of Peace." That's about as true a depiction of Islam as Pakistan being called effective at ridding itself of Islamic terror camps.

Ex-Press Secretary Tony Snow (RIP - and I liked the guy) oozed way too much optimism about Pakistans' efforts against Islamist extremists when last year he said "Pakistan was working hard to fight al Qaeda and the Taliban... "At the same time, we recognize the sovereignty of the Pakistani government and realize that they're putting on a serious push ... They're taking the fight to al Qaeda"

Are they really? Sure sounds like a lot more talk than fight. What is the difference between Pakistan promising a "joint investigation" and "a fox in the hen house?" Not much.

The US will make a huge mistake if we discourage India from eliminating any Islamic training camp that is known to exist inside Pakistan. But, unfortunately for the rest of us, we don't even have the will to eliminate Islamic training camps in our own nation. We are peddling insanity with our failure to act in our own defense, never mind India's. We are laisse-faire-ing our own demise - ignoring the cancer within us.

And we want India to do the same with a hostile Islamic cancer at their back door.
