It makes perfect sense. However, I must add that I fully agree with the remarkable Hugh Fitzgerald of jihadwatch.org, whom I know you admire as well, that our protracted involvement in Afghanistan makes no sense regardless of what strategies we employ, and which faction(s) we support. We cannot, and moreover, should not be attempting to rebuild Muslim states where the basis for whatever law exists is Shari'a. Our goal, rather, should be to promote the natural fissures within dar al-Islam to rupture, escalating the more than millenium-old hostilities that persist between Shi'ite and Sunni, Arab and non-Arab, and, in this century, the oil-rich Muslim states and those which wallow in self-inflicted misery and poverty due less to a lack of oil than, primarily, to Islam itself. Our focus, rather, should be, <em>inter alia</em>, on countering Muslim proselytizing, stopping the influx of Muslims into infidel lands where creeping Shari'a and stealth jihad are the primary consequences, and preventing Muslim influence peddling (via Saudi petrodollars)in our universities, mass media, and in the political system. Let us look aghast at what is happening in Europe; the transformation of Europe into Eurabia is continuing unabated. We should be alarmed at this, and we should be working furiously with Europeans who wield some influence to reverse this, and to stop America from suffering the same fate. It may already be too late for Europe. The expenditure of lives, money, and materiel on Muslim pestholes like Afghanistan, which is a pesthole primarily because of the supremacy of Islam, is insane, criminal, and self-destructive. <br />I absolutely agree, however, that the USA's inept, feckless foreign policy has indeed led to the betrayal of many of our allies, but Afghanistan is not, and was never, and can never be, an ally. It's a different situation.commonsensenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-31116833528523028632010-04-09T14:23:19.221-04:002010-04-09T14:23:19.221-04:00"Did you used to post on LGF long long time a..."Did you used to post on LGF long long time ago?"<br /><br />Yes, DP111, a few posts back in about 2005. <br />My concern at the time was that the Cold War was not over and that the emphasis had simply shifted to cultural warfare.<br />I believe I made a few posts referring to Gramsci, "New Lies for Old" by Anatoliy Golitsyn, Yuri Bezmenov, etc.<br /><br />It all seems to be coming to a head now.<br />The West seems to be self-destructing just as Russia and China are building militarily.<br />Maybe my concerns were justified.<br /><br />Obama strikes me as a "useful idiot"; someone the Russians and the Chinese and sundry Islamic despots and others such as Chavez can play like a fiddle.<br /><br />If Obama is a Manchurian candidate, you have to hand it to the Russians; they have done a masterful job setting America up for this catastrophe over the past several decades.<br /><br />Mike_WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-68173536260701016672010-04-09T10:46:19.359-04:002010-04-09T10:46:19.359-04:00Mike_W
