Waking From the Fog

Another tragic day for innocent citizens, and tragic as well for the continuing confrontation between good and evil (no, that’s not a “simplistic” appraisal).

It will certainly come as no surprise when, in the next few days, the minions of Hate the West enterprises begin their rants on how peaceful London would now be if they had only left Saddam Hussein in power.

In some quarters, every horrid extremist act will be blamed on our actions in Iraq -- somehow missing out on the fact that Muslim extremist-terrorism had been a growing threat long before Iraq or 9/11. It's important to remember that, in the Muslim fanatic's eyes, the World Trade Center was "meant to come down" in 1993. The West's "crime" then was to kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait but our worst “crime” is still, as it was to both Fascists, and Communists; our contagious free and open societies.

Those who so despise the West (many from the West itself) will have ever increasing difficulty convincing common citizens that Islamo-Fascism is somehow acting in just reprisal for our own perceived evil nature.

My condolences to the good people of London.
