Seriousness about the war on Terrorism

Jim Geraghty ponders the failure of the MSM to cover the unfolding terrorist events in Canada and in London. He assigns it to their unwillingness to report anything that might encourage support for the President and the war on terrorism.

One thing that occurs is that there is a strain of Islam that, whenever it feels powerful as it has with increased oil profits, will attack non-muslims in order to force the rest of the world to submit to it. It's one of the Five Pillars to Muslims afflicted with this cult. They seek to restart the war that ended only after the West turned the tide by defeating Muslims in the Middle Ages. When Islamic empires began to diminish and lose power, this impulse withdrew and became dormant, but it didn't disappear. The new realization is that Muslims cannot compete militarily with the West, but it senses that the West is vulnerable to terrorism, to attacks by "martyrs." They are now in a position to support such attacks financially, and through the indoctrination in madrassahs run by Wahhabbists and the radical Shiites who have seized power in Iran, they have plenty of willing suicide bombers. This struggle is as serious as the Cold War was, and may last longer, unless we lose our nerve and sit like sheep waiting to be driven and killed.
