Useful Fools

As so eloquently put in the National Review Online, we are in a war because our people have been attacked!

Yet today the media elite, their Democratic allies, and the silly Europeans have already forgotten. We don’t hear a word about the need to cleanse the world of terrorists and the dictators who support and arm them!

We don’t hear of our sacred duty to the dead of 9-11 - our duty to root out and destroy every vestige of Islamist terror, and the concomitant need to end the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. At best, we hear cynical complaints that our internal defenses are not enough - as if we could ever secure this great and free country against individual terrorists! The left refuses to recognize that offense is the only defense in this matter!

Instead, we here proceduralist and legalist mumblings about only one forthcoming battle in our war: Iraq.

The Wall Street Journal editorial page, a bastion of conservativism, published an article by Democrat John Breaux advocating major changes to make Health Insurance more available. The recommendations pretty much follow those described on this blog last November.

Now Anne Wilson has a post on her blog that eloquently describes the impact of the problem… but misses any reasonable solution. This is addressed in the extended discussion reached by the link below.

Her blog is certainly a refreshing addition to conservative commentary. Her observation on media treatment of Scott Ritter’s sexual escapades is right on the mark!

The “Old Europe” countries of Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium insist that the United States deal with the Iraq problem only through the United Nations. The credulous US press takes them at their word and duly reports how our “unilateralism” is upsetting our “allies.”

Rarely mentioned is the role of the UN in the recent Serbian war. Europe asked the United States to intervene militarily to save them from a troubling problem. While it has slipped the memory of many, the United States’ war against Serbia was was not a United Nations action. Nevertheless, the Europeans approved of our use of violence… in fact, they practically begged us to intervene. They couldn’t do it themselves - even against the rump state of Serbia!

Also contrary to popular memory, this was hardly a simple humanitarian act. After all, Europe had simply watched as thousands were butchered in Bosnia and Croatia (not to mention Rwanda). Only when the problem threatened a refugee exodus and instability near Europe did they act. Then they were quite happy to use military violence, not diplomacy to solve their problem. Today, with the United States already the victim of a mass casualty attack, and Iraq the proven posessor and user of weapons of mass destruction, Europe insists on “more time” for diplomacy to work - as if 12 years isn’t enough!

So what do the Europeans really mean by their attitude toward the Iraq situation? Their words mean only one thing: “We don’t want you to go to war, and you should obey us.” They are frustrated that this time they can’t tame the tiger they so happily unleashed only a few years ago!

Taken in this light, it is clear that their pious rumblings are nothing more than the whines of a geriatric who can no longer take part in the action. They care nothing about multilateralism when *their* interests are at stake, but when *our* country has been viciously attacked, they obstruct. They cower. They bluster. They beg. But they add nothing.

The European elite has lost its ability to command world events, which is appropriate given their fecklessness in the face of clear danger. Shame is all they deserve for their attempt to stop the one country with both the moral clarity and the military power to respond to 21st century terrorism and WMD blackmail!

Some of the loonier left anti-America… err… anti-war crowd are heading to Iraq to volunteer as human shields. Never mind that Saddam already has millions of human shields… but to the left it’s the thought, not the effect that counts!

Hopefully this trend will continue and expand. If our bombs don’t kill them, Saddam will, and blame it on us. In any case, the sanity level of the world will be increased by their sacrifice.

Go to it, loons! I am waiting to hear your chants on Al Jazeera…

To the rhythm of Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Sa Sa Sa Saddam
We’ll Protect You
From the Bomb!

Sa Sa Sa Saddam
We’ll be blown
To Kingdom Come!

Go Turkeys!

It isn’t every day that we can see some of our least liked folks go at each other, but here is a fine example, as reported by the Phoenix New Times.

If more evidence is needed that Radical Environmentalism is a religion (see previous posting), it is provided in the latest in a series of attacks on Bjorn Lomborg, author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist.

The Skeptical Environmentalist is a result of Lomborg’s belated discovery of the falsehoods and manipulations of the Environmental Movement. It is a detailed, well sourced description of their deceits and of their claims. Since it’s publication, greens have been viciously attacking it.

There is currently a campaign by a number of groups against the SUV.

The trial lawyers want you to think that SUV’s are unsafe, so they can make zillions suing the automakers. The trial lawyers are major contributors to the Democratic Party.

The environmentalists want you to think that SUV’s are unsafe and evil, since they hate anything that burns petroleum, and the are frightened when consumers defy them. They are major contributors to the Democratic Party and virtually control it on these issues.

Arianne Huffington wants you to think that SUV’s are evil because driving them magically supports terrorism. Arrianne Huffington is a well known rich flake who lives in a mansion. She travels in gas guzzling private jets. She has purchased a television campaign arguing that SUV drivers support terrorism (she probably did it to get attention).

But someone has come up with an answer to that campaign.

North Korea, in its rapidly escalating campaign for US appeasement has now threatened to resume missile testing. If they test any long range missiles, the US should shoot them down!

The following was posted as a response to a typical wacko-environmentalist rant on Slashdot (www.slashdot.org). But it applies fairly well to a lot of the silliness that comes out in the global warming debate…

This time, it is personal! Publicly regulated utility monopolies are one of the necessary evils of our capitalist system. But, as shown in my Bureaucracy Essay, they can be just as bad as a “caring government agency.” Today I was run over by QWest, my telephone “service” provider.

Then you will understand why Google returns a whopping 37800 pages containing “qwest sucks!”
