You continue to educate re militant Islam. Much needed. Having just re-read "Witness" by Chambers and "The Venona Secrets" by Romerstein, your words of today are very remindful of the same elitist types over 50 years ago who were saying Soviet communism did not massacre 10s of millions and did not really want to bury us. Soviet communism's goal was a Soviet America. This war brought on by the militant Islamists is World War III. When the militant Wahhabi-Islamists in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere stop teaching their youth to kill Christians and Jews, when the moderate Islamists in the US and elsewhere begin to stand up and take back their mosques and schools from the militant Islamists, then we can begin to say we are making headway in this WWIII.
President Bush, his team, the military are doing a good job. Much needs to be done particularly in the education and mobilization of the homefront. What do you see as the most critical steps to be taken now. Joe Fitzgerald
