Nancy Ott: Amen and Double-Ditto to every single word
What a bunch of spineless crybabies!
If we'd have acted this lame during WWII, the free world would have fallen to the Nazis. Certainly Islamic terrorists are dangerous and need to be taken seriously, but they don't present the same kind of existential threat to America's existence that Nazi Germany -- or, for that matter, the USSR (which had the capability to destroy all human life on the planet) -- did. (And while we're on the subject of totalitarian dictators, substitute the word "Jew" or "bourgeois enemy of the people" for "Muslim" in their diatribes and tell me who it sounds like.)
I'd say that the biggest existential threat we face is not posed by Islamists at all -- it's posed by the Bush Administration and its enablers like Kirchick, Coulter, and their fellow travelers, who are destroying our freedoms and society from within. The terrorists won't have to lift a finger to destroy America because our power-mad leaders, corrupt neocon fifth columnists, and their sissy wannabe torturer mouthpieces will have done it for them. Heck of a job!
