The Drums of War

The press and the Democrats have taken a war that could maybe, just maybe, have been fought by the nation's intelligence services over here and our elite military forces overseas, and turned it into a street brawl. A nuclear Iran means nuclear weapons in the hands of Islamic terrorists. That means the end of civilization.

Islam has proven itself incapable of routing the evil that has grown within it. The inescapable conclusion is that "moderate" Muslims support the goals of the terrorists to present a single world in submission to Allah. The West now faces a moral imperative that goes beyond the destruction of terrorist-aligned Islamic states, to the destruction of Islam itself.

Not sure how we might go about destroying Islam.

Ex-CIA director: U.S. faces 'World War IV'

Former CIA Director James Woolsey said Wednesday the United States is engaged in World War IV, and that it could continue for years.

"As we move toward a new Middle East," Woolsey said, "over the years and, I think, over the decades to come ... we will make a lot of people very nervous."

"Our response should be, 'good!'" Woolsey said.

Singling out Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the leaders of Saudi Arabia, he said, "We want you nervous. We want you to realize now, for the fourth time in a hundred years, this country and its allies are on the march and that we are on the side of those whom you -- the Mubaraks, the Saudi Royal family -- most fear: We're on the side of your own people."

It will be America's backing of democratic movements throughout the Middle East that will bring about this sense of unease, he said.

I don't know about Mubarak but it makes me nervous.
