Bringing the 9/11 plotters to New York City for an ordinary criminal trial (no different from a purse snatcher) is a shock to many, but not to myself. Why? Because long before Obama and his parasitic pimps took over the government, there was already a fatal flaw in the American approach to its Islamic destroyers. Before Obama, we had a President who called Islam a "religion of peace" and who tried to make peace with the primary state sponsor of terrorism -- the government of Iran. Of course, that President may have been merely stupid, while the new President (who knows what he's doing) is actually on the side of the enemy. That's a significant difference in motivation, but there's really no difference in policy. You cannot call the enemy "terrorism" -- which refers to a tactic, not a particular enemy -- and then expect to defeat that tactic while evading the identity of the enemy. Just as the Roman Empire fell when Turks invaded, history will record that America fell (if it does) because it refused to admit that its real enemies were within, not without. Although the governments who sponsor terrorism against us are indeed enemies, we could never have elected a "President Obama" if the enemy were not, at least from the perspective of the majority, indeed...ourselves. A society that cherishes freedom, reason and individual rights would wipe out terrorism overnight. The problem is: We're not that society, at least not now. America is a nation in the process of committing suicide, both in economics and foreign policy. The majority of people elected their own destroyer into office. If that same majority turns around and repudiates that destroyer, then suicide will be averted -- but only if.
