On the Eve of Madness - New York Times

On the Eve of Madness - New York Times

Thomas is frustrated as well he should be with the craziness coming from Islam in the Middle East. He casts blame everywhere, but he is absolutely right when he says:

"There will be no new Middle East Â? not as long as the New Middle Easterners, like Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister, get gunned down; not as long as Old Middle Easterners, like Nasrallah, use all their wits and resources to start a new Arab-Israeli war rather than build a new Arab university; and not as long as Arab media and intellectuals refuse to speak out clearly against those who encourage their youth to embrace martyrdom with religious zeal rather than meld modernity with Arab culture."



He could have added: The case for modernity is hopeless until and unless the radical Arabic terrorists (RATs for short...hey, I like that acronym!) are eradicated. Neutralization is insufficient. Peace is impossible while the Sunni and Shiite RATs continue their jihad against Jews and Westerners.

Never forget 9/11 and the other acts of indiscriminate terror perpetrated by the RATs against Western civilization.
