When Republicans don't get it

It's bad enough to be subjected to the drivel coming out of Sherrod Brown, Kucinich, Tubbs Jones, Kaptur and Zack Space. Even Voinovich is warming up to another crying jag, but unfortunately we here in Ohio have been accustomed to this.

What is truly worrisome is the lack of vision or scope that resides in our nation's Capitol. Yes, there was that insightful statement about the tube type things in the Internet, but technology does move fast these days. No, I am worried when allies of freedom in Congress do not get it, just as I worry that the opponents of freedom don't get it. Also, in Congress.

Regula sees the only alternative to Bush’s plan as “just to walk away.” And if the
United States did that, he said, “it would destabilize that whole part
of the world
, not just Iraq. You’d have a hotbed of terrorists taking
over the whole environment.” (emp. mine)


"destabilize that whole part of the world"? Wrong. Destabilize the world.

Radical Islam is a virus without a state. Khomeini stated that Iran was nothing and it could die if it furthered the worldwide Caliphate. “It doesn’t matter what the people think. The people are ignorant sheep.” stated Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi of his followers. Traditionally, political and societal viruses are contained by a host state. When that host state tries to export its virus another state can move to shove it back or kill it. Communism is a state hosted virus. Vietnam, as such, is an ignorant analogy to Iraq. Yes, Vietnam had foreign insurgents just as in Iraq, but those insurgents were from other communist countries, all with stated geopolitical goals. Islam is stateless. Radical Islam is not only stateless, it is anti state. There is no containment, only eradication.

A failure in Iraq will not destabilize a (whole) part of our world. It will destabilize the Arab world, Africa, Asia and Europe for sure, but it will also destabilize Russia, America and other areas with growing radical Islamic populations and with citizens without vision or scope of what this war is really about. This war is worldwide. Those are the stakes and proponents of worldwide freedom have to understand those stakes.

Opponents of freedom do not get it. They are too selfish to understand.
