The Middle East Imperative
Enforce the law. A country that will not defend itself deserves what it gets. If it means war, let it be now. Excellent use of bold and block caps. This is all red meat. As head of the American defense and response complex at Colorado Springs, Brigadier General Jimmy L. Cash, USAF (Retired), was "at one time the man with his finger on the nuclear trigger". Here, he explains the importance of completing the mission in Iraq.
Let me try and put this conflict in proper perspective.
Understand, the current battle we are engaged in is much bigger than just Iraq. What happens in the next year will affect this country and how our kids and grandkids live throughout their lifetime, and beyond.
Radical Islam has been attacking the West since the seventh century.
Such is the world we have made, the blindingly obvious reads like a revelation. Now I am off to an anthropology conference. The last time I attended such a beast I found it to be one apology for the forces of reaction after another; this was not how I remembered anthropology as an undergraduate. But then the discipline has changed, the world has changed and so have I.
Update: Ok, a slight caveat. There is some very interesting, non-civilization denying work going on in Canadian anthropology. And if that is possible then I have to concede anything is possible.
