The West could lose because of politically correct immigration policies

I'm surprised Daniel Pipes didn't include IMMIGRATION as another of the software bugs in modern western civilization. These days, elites accept the leftist notion that there is a right to immigrate if you are a member of recognized victim group of poor and/or oppressed. It's crazy to say we are at war with radical Islam, yet continue immigration from countries where the most extreme Islam is the norm.

America has no diplomatic relations with Iran, yet the State Dept. will hand out 1361 Diversity Visas to lucky Iranians who get lucky in the 2007 drawing. http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2006/07/24/diversity-is-alive-and-well-at-the-state-department/print/

Bush is trying to fight a politically correct war, with no enemies other than vague "terrorists" and no border or immigration enforcement. It's not working.
