Civilization (Continued from page 6) ability to attack and destroy us. 3. Obama inherited two battle zones in the war against radical Islamism: Iraq and Afghanistan. He has declared both wars over and is withdrawing our troops. This is the equivalent of France and Britain allowing Hitler’s Nazis to occupy the demilitarized Rhineland and then to force anschluss with Austria. The people of Afghanistan hated the Taliban and rejoiced when their murderous, repressive regime fell. 4. Just as they hated Saddam, and far more than they hated Mubarak, anyone who has lived under Islamist rule hates the Islamists and longs for their destruction. But Barack Obama has shown them (like Carter, Reagan and Clinton before him) that there will be no effective resistance to the extension of Islamist rule. Briefly, two presidents named Bush stood against Muslim aggressors, and a remarkable thing happened: The Muslims who don’t want to be ruled by these mad dictators fell in behind American leadership and bet their lives and their futures on our victory. And we won. Even if the occupation did not go brilliantly at first, we won, and the result was a general backing down of support for Islamists all over the Middle East. But with Barack Obama’s decision to lose these wars, despite the fact that we won them, and continued to prevail whenever and wherever adequate support was given, our friends and allies in the Middle East have no choice but to make whatever accommodation they can with whoever looks like the eventual winner. Hint: As long as Barack Obama or any other member of the professoriate or mediocracy is president, the US is not going to look like the eventual winner. When Barack Obama snubs Netanyahu of Israel, he no doubt imagines he is building friendship with Muslims. But he is not. He is earning the contempt of the Islamists whose war against the West he thus encourages, and he is showing those who would be our friends that American friendship means nothing. After all, look how Obama treats Israel, our staunchest ally! If that’s how America treats its friends, it’s time to join up with America’s enemies. There are still many millions of Americans who approve of Obama’s decision to lose the war, just as many millions of Britons rejoiced when Chamberlain came home from Munich with a worthless treaty and promised “peace for our time.” These are the Americans who think that because Osama bin Laden is dead, we already won the only war we ever meant to fight. But we don’t get to decide when the war is over – they do. And President Obama’s actions have proven again and again that Osama bin Laden was absolutely right in his assessment of America. We will not keep fighting. We win and then we quit; but the Islamists go on. All you have to do, Bin Laden taught, was keep

on attacking, and eventually the Islamists will bring down the whole Western civilization. Then the Islamists can replace it with their own ugly, hate-filled, oppressive, racist, misogynist, fanatic, murderous “law.” Of course it will quickly become corrupt and the leaders will not be true to the faith – we do have the history of centuries of fanatical Muslim governments to show us that. But it will be no help to the people who groan under the heel of the Islamist conquerors. Here’s where we come to the crux of the matter. The professoriate and mediocracy think it’s absurd for me to talk about these terrorists actually bringing down Western Civilization. Well, in a way it would almost be redundant – the only people who hate Western Civilization more than the Islamists are the professoriate and mediocracy here and in Europe, and they already do all they can to destroy all the values that made Western Civilization the envy of the world. And never mind that their pat-on-thehead devotion to the “oppressed” Muslims will not protect them – as with Hitler, wherever Islamists take over the first people they kill or imprison are, unsurprisingly, the professoriate and the mediacrats. When Churchill first started warning about the danger of Hitler’s rearming of Germany, his pacifist opponents ridiculed him. What threat could Germany possibly pose? Its economy was in ruins, it had no army. In fact, Germany had been oppressed by the unfair, impossible Versailles Treaty. It was only right for them to reassert their pride. Cut them some slack! And look how strong we are! We can never fall! (The fond belief of all great nations, just before they fall.) They kept insisting that Germany posed no threat, right up to the day when they suddenly switched and said, We dare not do anything to offend Hitler, because we’re not strong enough to fight his huge air force, army, U-boat fleet. Aren’t we already there? Aren’t people all over the world terrified of saying or doing anything to offend the Islamists, knowing that they assassinate anyone who gives offense? Haven’t we already lost this war? No, we haven’t. We stand where Britain and France stood in 1939, having already decided to lose, having already allowed their enemy to get weapons he shouldn’t have had and to rule in nations where they did not have to let him win. Obama has already allowed Egypt to be turned over to Islamists, while doing nothing to help democratic forces liberate themselves from the oppressive, terroristsponsoring Syrian government that supports Hamas, Hezbollah and the soonto-be-nuclear Iranian ayatollahs. Obama is already handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban, while Iraq is now in the shadow of Iranian power. Obama has done nothing to prevent Iranian nuclear weaponry and is trying (Continued on page 44)
