Dutch Angst

It is interesting to watch the Dutch try to deal with their "jihadist" issues. In the classic liberal fashion, they try and avoid making any hard decisions. Somehow they seem to blame Mr. van Gogh rather than the vermin who took his life. The mayor of Rotterdam took down a mural that said, "Thou shalt not kill" to avoid inflaming Muslims and there were other similar actions by people too buried in political correctness to understand that they are playing directly into the hands of Islamist fundamentalists.

If Gore had been President instead of Bush, what would we have seen happen in this country after 9/11? This is simply more proof that the mindset of the "progressive" left is incapable of dealing with reality. And, this last week, the electorate agreed.

Despite any misgivings about President Bush, he does understand that the only way to deal with bullies or thugs is not some form of dialog or study but the application of an even greater amount of force; seemingly the only thing they are capable of understanding.
