Misterbush's Neighborhood
Listening to press conf with Bush and Rice this morning. Bush is doing a good job of explaining his position, but the logic just doesn't work. He says the terrorists are rebelling against "young democracy", and that the cure is to strengthen "young democracy".
Pure Wilson, and a nice-sounding idea. Unfortunately it just ain't true. The current Jihad began in 1968, and expanded during several different styles of American foreign policy.
It's not democracy they dislike, whether young or old.
It's Christians and Jews.
We can't solve that basic divide by imposing policies of any sort. We can only solve it by killing all the leaders of Jihad, and killing enough of the Ummah to convince those warrior cultures that our mojo is supreme. ¶ 8:37 AM
