Thoughts Out Of Season
Paul Eidelberg
- The only way to win the war on terror (or on what is called $B!H(BIslamism$B!I(B) is to terrorize the terrorists .
- To refrain from doing so because Islamic terrorists do not fear death is a strategic error .
- There are two ways of making them fear death . One is their witnessing unceasing attacks and annihilation of Islamic terrorists; the other is their witnessing the destruction of the visible symbols of their deity .
- Of course, the West is incapable of this kind of offensive warfare . Humanism or liberalism, tolerance and multiculturalism, preclude such ruthlessness . Sending our enemies to paradise is too much for self-righteous liberals or compassionate conservatives . Which is why the former abhorred, while the latter gradually deserted, the Bush Doctrine, by which I mean the following:
$B!|(B Its forthright recognition of evil, hence its rejection of moral relativism;
$B!|(B Its rejection of stability as the modus operandi of the State Department$B!G(Bs conduct of international relation;
$B!|(B Its rolling back Islamic despotism and promoting democracy;
$B!|(B Its recognition of the futility of diplomacy when dealing with terrorist states;
$B!|(B Its resort to unilateralism in the face of an impotent and corrupt United Nations;
$B!|(B Its recognition of the necessity of preemption in a world proliferating in weapons of mass destruction .
- The war against Islamic terrorism cannot be won without exposing and overcoming the anti-American Cultural Left entrenched in academia, the courts, the news and entertainment media, and now the Democratic Party .
- The virtual impossibility of securing the $B!H(Bhome front$B!I(B against these anti-Americans without statesmanship comparable in greatness to that of Abraham Lincoln . Therefore:
$B!|(B America is at a historic turning point no less significant than that which Lincoln faced in the presidential election of 1860 .
$B!|(B Since America does not have a Lincoln , it cannot save itself . Which bodes ill for the survival of Western civilization .
$B!|(B Only one nation can save America , and that is Israel . Which means that Israel would have to begin the unraveling of Islam .
$B!|(B But Israel also lacks a Lincoln . It, too, is dominated by the Cultural Left .
$B!|(B Is there a force in Israel that can overcome the Cultural Left? Can such a force be created? If not now, when?
