The Clash of Civilizations , part ii

Although I have already given a 'review' of Tony Blankley's book, which really amounts to a suggestion that you read it, I have to add another post regarding this book because of the current relevance of its content.
Foremost in the thoughts of Mr. Blankley are the suggestions of what might happen when radical Islamists have infiltrated the West and begin attacking the world in ways that are less "common" than what we expect and are fed from the mainstream media. The eerie part of this is that right now, in France, a similar scenario is playing out.
I am amazed at the blatant partisan, political bickering that is going on in the United States right now. That is a topic that I will have to vent about in this forum later. However, it is happening and you cannot deny it, no matter which side of the political spectrum you are on. To me what is sad (and dangerous) is that this debate is going on, unchecked by 'We the People', in that partisan and political way. Like it or not, we are the big boys on the block that is the world and there are those that don't want us to be. Right now, radical Islamists are the most serious and grave threat, but there are others and they will surface...eventually.
We need to wake up and realize that we are at war. The United States has been at war before and triumphed throughout its history. We have never taken the spoils of war. In fact, we have, for the most part, gotten those we defeated back into the world fray at our own expense. But since Vietnam, war is not PC and we don't do it well (and should not do it at all) in the minds of many who are free to speak in this country. I respect that freedom more than anyone. But, I realize that there is a time and a place to debate who we are and what we should do. Right now is not that time. Let's win this war and debate all of the rest later.
Read Tony Blankley's book. You will see what I mean and no doubt agree.
