"Today's Saracens are on the threshold of acquiring nukes and missiles. Both Iranian and Wahhabi Islamists are true reactionaries, who seriously intend to turn the clock back to the 7th century --- in women's rights, democracy, free speech, tolerance, sexual freedoms, you name it. They don't like Europe any more than their forebears did in the 12th century. But they believe that Europe has grown lazy, corrupt and timid --- and therefore presents an easy target."
". . . the great blind spot of European thinking is failing to understand the rise of effective defenses against nuclear-armed missiles. Once we have workable defenses, there is no need for the frightening prospect of MAD any more."
There was a successful Aegis test overnight in the Pacific - 2 missiles coming from different directions were taken out by a single ship @ sea. The Muslim extremists can't afford to have a lot of missiles turn into debris fields while the West gathers it's nerve and decides to kill them.
"Western Europe exploited the Atlantic alliance to build a social welfare state that never even paid for its own defense --- the first duty of any society. The US therefore shielded Europe from attack, and in return Europe developed a hostile-dependent complex about Uncle Sam. Today's irrational anti-Americanism reflects the desperation of a continent hooked on the welfare state"
One wonders what they're learning in European history classes.
"Iran is now thought to be able to produce its first nuclear weapons in four years, with large-scale production perhaps a few years later. At any time, the government of Pakistan may be overthrown by Al Qaeda-style extremists, who have tried three times to assassinate General Musharraf. If they succeed, they would control their own nuclear arsenal. That would present us with both a Shiite and a Sunni Bomb within fifteen minutes flight of any Western capital. Other radicalized nations would find it easier to follow suit."
