This is London Calling: Barbarians at the Gate

The terrorist bombings in London earlier this morning have reinforced a few notions. The first is that the War on Terror is long term & must be a global enterprise. The terrorists will strike anywhere; no nation is immune. This war against terrorists must be allied with as many nations as possible. It is not a time for any country to shirk from intimidation, as the Spanish did after the train bombings in Madrid.

The second is that the terrorists are exactly that - terrorists. They are not the equivalent of our Minutemen, as the deluded pig Michael Moore says or freedom fighters, as others have suggested. They have no government in exile, they have no singular, cohesive political form. They are a loose knit group of radical Islamic fundamentalists whose only relationship to each other is their fanaticism & hatred of the West. They are the barbarians of the 21st century. They are a collection of depraved psychotics & sociopaths who have as much human feelings for their intended innocent victims as they would for a cockroach. Such is the mind of a sociopath. No guilt, no remorse, no feelings except hate - just squash whoever gets in the way of their sick ideas.

This leads to the logical follow up. There is only one way to stop the human debris of terrorists & fanatics - kill them; ruthlessly & without mercy. As many & as quickly as can be killed. This is no time to be giving terrorist prisoners at Guantanamo lemon-butter fish or Mullah-approved Arab delicacies. It is no time to be treating their Korans in a way that reaffirms their belief that we are infidels: by the ridiculous notion of our soldiers wearing gloves when they handle the Koran, we are telling these fanatics that we are not worthy in God's eye, we are indeed what they believe we are. There comes a time when a civilized society does in fact need to temporarily put aside its niceties & stoop to the level of its enemies.

It is beyond time that the Congress & the President get serious about our wide open southern borders. Despite what they say, the southern borders are like a sieve. Thousands of men from European, Asian & Middle Eastern countries (including countries on our terrorist-nation list) have crossed that border, been arrested, given a notice to appear in court, then released - only to disappear into our population. God knows who the ones are that weren't caught. This ridiculous & incompetent policy will be the cause of the next 911.

It is beyond time for the likes of Senator Durbin, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid & the rest of the Democratic leadership to shut their traps & start supporting the war. From the third day after the Iraq War began they have been calling it a quagmire, they have been berating Bush every chance they get, they have been picking apart & mouthing off about every little perceived failure on our part. They have not been cheerleading our fight against the terrorists. They haven't come close to putting as much energy into speaking out against the terrorists & the "insurgents" & the chaos they are trying to create. The Democrats along with the mainstream news media are the summer soldiers & sunshine patriots that Thomas Paine spoke about. But we would go one step further & call them borderline traitors. At the very least, they are not serving this country nor its citizens well. Through their words they are helping, encouraging, the terrorists & fanactics.

Our sympathies go out to the British. They have been a steadfast ally in the War on Terror & they will continue to be one.

" One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half." - Winston Churchill
