John wants America to stick our collective heads in the sand

Check out wat Lileks had to say about Kerry's Terrorism as a nuisance statement. Someone gimme "Hallelujah."

"

A nuisance?

I don’t want the definition of success of terrorism to be
“it isn’t on the rise.” I want the definition of success to be “free democratic
states in the Middle East and the cessation of support of those governments and
fascist states we haven’t gotten around to kicking in the ass yet.” I want the
definition of success to mean a free Lebanon and free Iran and a Saudi Arabia
that realizes there’s no point in funding the fundies. An Egypt that stops
pouring out the Jew-hatred as a form of political novacaine to keep the citizens
from turning their ire on their own government. I want the definition of success
to mean that Europe takes a stand against the Islamicist radicals in their midst
before the Wahabbi poison is the only acceptable strain on the continent.
Mosquito bites are a nuisance. Cable outages are a nuisance. Someone shooting up
a school in Montana or California or Maine on behalf of the brave martyrs of
Fallujah isn't a nuisance. It's war.

But that's not the key phrase. This
matters: We have to get back to the place we were.

But when we were
there we were blind. When we were there we losing. When we were there we died.
We have to get back to the place we were. We have to get back to 9/10? We have
to get back to the place we were. So we can go through it all again? We have to
get back to the place we were. And forget all we’ve learned and done? We have to
get back to the place we were. No. I don’t want to go back there. Planes into
towers. That changed the terms. I am remarkably disinterested in returning to a
place where such things are unimaginable. Where our nighmares are their
dreams.We have to get back to the place we were. No. We have to go the
place where they are. "

Back on the job!

(I do realize I'm talking to an empty room, by the way... But hey, you gotta start somewhere!)

Since I last actively participated in the Blogosphere, the world has changed; Afghanastan lurches ever closer towards joining the free world, and Iraq is slowly but surely moving towards free elections. Parts of the world are waking up to the horrors of Islamofascism, while other parts continue to bury their heads in the sand. Courageous nations stand against this cancer, some have surrendered outright.

What are we to do?

Stand up and fight these bastards, that's what. I cannot imagine what would have occurred in WWII, had we the same press corps and naysayers as we do today. "FDR lied, jews died!" "FDR is Hitler!" "No blood for jews!" Can we all pretend we're adults for a moment? Is there anyone out there who believes Saddam should be set free, and reinstated as Grand Executioner of Iraq? Anyone? Perhaps a good many people who think Iraq is a hopeless "quagmire," should remember this quote: "Those who think something is impossible, should get out of the way of those who are doing it."

I live in Minnesota, which hasn't voted for a Republican since Nixon. This year, my fellow bloggers, we go red. We'll vote for W, because he stacks up dead terrorists like cordwood. He takes the fight to the enemy, and will not rest even after Osama's head is displayed atop the Brooklyn Bridge. To our enemies in the sand: You made a serious error in judgement on September 11, 2001. America will re-elect the Cowboy come November 2nd, and the marines will drag you from your ratholes soon enough.
