As bombs continue to fall in the Middle East, sometimes it's tempting to argue with the "War is bad, man"-crowd, that continue to gather across the country, and the world. Whether in New York or Tel Aviv, Columbus or Cambridge, you're going to find people who oppose everything that you stand for, and everything that you believe in. And the way it comes out, of course, is in the thinly veiled anti-Semitism deriding the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) for "killing kids in Lebanon," or that the Americans and their imperialistic practices are what's wrong with the world.
But the Israelis are fighting the most just war in their history, and Cowboy Diplomacy (so-called, and I kind of like it) has done wonders as the Iraqi and Afghani governments keep chugging along. But ignore these detractors. Really. Like the Democrats who are more interested in slandering President Bush than in devising a real strategy to win in Iraq, these people lack the intellect to form a coherent argument. Most of them, anyway. And don't let yourself get dragged into that- because when you argue with an idiot, it becomes hard for an onlooker to determine who the real idiot is.
These are the same types of minds that brought us appeasement against Hitler, that said we couldn't beat the USSR, and now tell us we should follow the head-in-the-sand model to deal with Islamofascism and terrorism. We need to roll into town like a cowboy, like Victor Davis Hanson just wrote in the NRO, because when the cowboy retires after the confrontation with the bad guys--to everyone's apparent relief--the outlaws usually creep back into town.
But, when they tell you that Israel's bombing has killed fifteen children in Lebanon, or that we are guilty of war crimes in Iraq, or whatever foolishness they have in store for you, just remember what you saw here: http://chromatism.net/bloodyborders/. That's the 'Bloody Borders Project', brought to you by Gates of Vienna- another blogspot address, and one of the most important terrorism watchdogs on the net. I look forward to reading every new column they post. But just scroll down to the map on that site, and click on a grid: on Israel, maybe, or Iraq. The numbers are staggering, and it only catalogs terrorism since September 11, 2001; that means there is a lot of blood they haven't accounted for.
So when we are advised that Club Gitmo members should have more constitutional protections than someone at a party on 15th Ave., or are derided as murderers and thugs--because I have been, and you will be--don't let them make you believe that our enemies should get to plot to kill us, while we have to sit on our hands and talk. Remember that war is the solution our enemy has chosen. And I say let them have all they want.
Until next time, I remain...
