NO TURNING BACK TO THE OLD WORLD AFTER 9/11
September 11 has placed open societies and their democratic values at the crossroads of victory or subjugation. No intellectual quibbling or obfuscation can cover or evade this historic fact. Fanatic Muslim terrorists pose a threat to civilized societies of biblical proportions, especially if they acquire weapons of mass destruction, and worse, from rogue states.
Yet the liberal intelligentsia in its necrophilous stance attempts to shift the blame from the terrorist perpetrators to their victims. In their mind's eyes, September 11 was the comeuppance of America for the ills the latter had "rained" upon the poor and the oppressed of the world by spreading its rapacious eagle's wings over the globe in its pursuit of dominance and empire. Thus, the terrorist threat is subordinated and replaced by the liberal invention of its own "evil empire". Turning logic on its head,
fanatic terrorism becomes less dangerous and is transformed into a "lesser evil".
In an ironic twist, the threat posed by terrorists against the West, is turned into the threat of the "Lone Avenger". But that the latter might ride through the canyons of America, in his pursuit of punishing evil, not with six caliber pistols in his holsters but with nuclear weapons , is of no concern to liberals. Hence, the
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are all liberals. Foreordaining the destruction of Western societies by a fanatic horde of religious barbarians.
For the historically savvy part of mankind, there is no turning back to the old world of complacency and innocence, but to advance forward against this mortal foe with no quarter given. New challenges impose new methods of resolving them. Conventional diplomacy, under the auspices of the dilatory, weak and corrupt UN, is defunct.
