Something on the order of a mini-messiah.<br /><br />It's truly ironic that little Israel (but with a big stick) is getting stuck with the job of ending Iran's pretensions of power. What have they got to lose? Public opinion? Ha. Hell, the whole world's calling for Israel's demise.

The corollary as to how to defeat this movement is that the sponsoring regimes must be thoroughly defeated either economically alone or militarily. Both ways are, tragically, not likely to come about with our current western politically correct and cowardly leadership.Morry Rotenbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-56379802619826018592009-08-31T10:59:37.995-04:002009-08-31T10:59:37.995-04:00thank you gerry, history is context.thank you gerry, history is context.Daniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-73014532104053660172009-08-31T08:46:34.916-04:002009-08-31T08:46:34.916-04:00Good article Mr. Greenfield.

Could that change at some point if Muslims "elect" for lack of a better word a leader to lead their global cause? Or if they decide some charismatic leader is their Muslim messiah?<br /><br />I tend to think the war on terror would be slightly easier to win if it became leader focused. Using Hitler as an example, he eventually turned on his allies (was Russia ever truly an ally though?) and even the German people for showing weakness towards the end.<br /><br />Fighting against a single person or regime localized to one country would seems somewhat easier.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.com
