The Twilight Zone
There was a time when preparations for war and one's strategy to win the war were kept on the Q.T. as it were. To do otherwise encouraged the adversary to take measures to prevent you from carrying out your plan. Times have changed. From the Israel National News
Syria is completely comfortable giving the strategy interviews with Defense News Weekly with total confidence that Israel will do nothing to thwart the build-up of weapons to attack civilians and that the war will start at the day and hour of Syria's choosing. The deal just consummated between Syria and Iran will ensure that the funds are there to enable the build-up of ballistic weapons. The Israeli's can read Defense News Weekly to find out when and how their women and children will be killed.
I agree with the Syrian strategist. Israel will not survive. They have lost the instinct for self-preservation. There was a time when such a declaration of war would be answered with the war it called for. Those days are gone. The West is a bit too civilized to face the menace. That's too bad, because when the West falls, civilization will go with it.
(IsraelNN.com) Syria sees the next war with Israel as involving missile attacks on civilian infrastructure and front-line guerilla warfare, an anonymous senior official in the Syrian Ministry of Defense told Defense News Weekly, in an interview appearing Monday. Syria prefers to avoid a direct, "classic" confrontation with Israel, he said. Instead, the next war will involve Katyusha rocket and ballistic missiles that will target strategic points in Israel, especially civilian infrastructure.

Is America Today the France of Yesterday?
by Thomas Sowell from RealClearPolitics today
I would recommend the whole article to you, particularly today, as we enter negotiations with Iran over the fate ofthe Rhineland Iraq.
No leader of a democratic nation was ever more popular than British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain -- wildly cheered in the House of Commons by opposition parties as well as his own -- when he returned from negotiations in Munich in 1938, waving an agreement and declaring that it meant "peace in our time."

Welcome to Hamasistan!
From the International Herald Tribune:
Three sisters stabbed to death in Gaza in suspected "honor killing"
A new milestone. The Mohammed trifecta - 3 sisters at once. Surely Islam's life-cherishing values will bring peace and freedom to the Gaza strip.
Three sisters stabbed to death in Gaza in suspected "honor killing"
Honor killings are practiced throughout the Arab world. At least 12 women were killed for honor crimes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip last year, but this is the first time three sisters were murdered together.
A new milestone. The Mohammed trifecta - 3 sisters at once. Surely Islam's life-cherishing values will bring peace and freedom to the Gaza strip.

A Test of Character
The Australian reports on the cancellation of Dr. Mohamed Haneef's visa as a result of a failure of a character test. As a result he go's directly to a detention center, without passing Go or collecting $200, and will be deported from Australia.
It is fantastic, isn't it? The idea that a nation need only let people of a certain character remain. That's not Z-visa style. Australia is so much more mentally ready than the US for the war of wills we are engaged in. In the US Dr. Mohamed would be a civil rights idol - he has been convicted of no crime. The idea of a character test to determine if a visa can be revoked and a man put in detention - I can hear the outrage now if this was proposed in America. But he is a guest, not a citizen. Is it really necessary that Australian's put up with guests they suspect may not have the interests of Australia at heart? They think not. Way to go mate.

The Rape of Europe
By Paul Belien
The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch Newspaper "DeVolkskrant" that young Europeans who love Freedom, better emigrate. Europe as we know it will not exist twenty years from now.
While sitting on a terrace in Berlin , Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and said, "We are watching the world of yesterday."
Europe is turning Muslim.. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate.
"I am too old," he said. However, he urged young people to get out and "move to Australia or New Zealand. That is The only option they have if they want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable."
Many Germans and Dutch, apparently, did not wait for Broder's advice. The number of emigrants leaving the Netherlands and Germany has already surpassed the number of immigrants moving in. One does not have To be prophetic to predict, like Henryk Broder, that Europe is becoming Islamic.
Just consider the demographics.
- The number of Muslims in Contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50 million.
- It is expected to double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of All European children will be born to Muslim families.
- Today Mohammed is already the most popular name for newborn boys in Brussels , Amsterdam, Rotterdam , and other major European cities.
Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose Islamization. "The dominant ethos," he told De Volkskrant, "is perfectly Voiced by the stupid blonde woman author with whom I recently debated.
She said that it is sometimes better to let yourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting. She said it is sometimes better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death."
In a recent Op-Ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard the Dutch(gay and self-declared "humanist") author Oscar Van Den Boogaard refers to Broder's interview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the islamization of Europe is like "a process of mourning." He is overwhelmed by a "feeling of sadness."
"I am not a Warrior," he says, "but who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it."
Consider that in all of Europe no one under the age of 65 has picked up arms in defense of their country. That task has been borne by the United States since Hitler surrendered in 1945.
As Tom Bethell wrote in this month's American Spectator: "Just at The most basic level of demography the secular-humanist option is not Working." But there is more to it than the fact that non-religious people tend not to have as many children as religious people, because many of them prefer to "enjoy" freedom rather than renounce it for the sake of children.
Secularists, it seems to me, are also less keen on fighting. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, this life is the only thing they have to lose. Hence they will rather accept submission than fight. Like the German feminist Broder referred to, they prefer to be raped than to resist.
"If faith collapses, civilization goes with it," says Bethell. That is the real cause of the closing of civilization in Europe.
Islamization is simply the consequence. The very word Islam means "submission" and the secularists have submitted already. Many Europeans have already become Muslims, though they do not realize it or do not want to admit it.
Some of the people I meet in the U. S. are particularly worried about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. They are correct when they fear that anti-Semitism is also on the rise among non-immigrant Europeans. The latter hate people with a fighting spirit. Contemporary
Anti-Semitism in Europe (at least when coming from native Europeans) is related to anti-Americanism.
People who are not prepared to resist and are eager to submit, hate others who do not want to submit and are prepared to fight. They hate them because they are afraid that the latter will endanger their lives as well. In their view everyone must submit.
This is why they have come to hate Israel and America so much, and the small band of European "Islamophobes" who dare to talk about what they see happening around them. West Europeans have to choose between
submission (Islam) or death. I fear, like Broder, that they have chosen submission - just like in former days when they preferred to be Red rather than dead.
Europeans apparently never read John Stuart Mill: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse."
"A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
