Libertarians are among the few who have correctly diagnosed that affliction, and have been working to cure it.<br /><br />Since 2001, the U.S government and its bribed and bullied "allies" have killed hundreds of thousands -- perhaps more than a million -- people in the Muslim world, and they add to that toll daily. That figure of necessity includes the victims of the nihilistic movement called ISIS, which was catalyzed by the criminal invasion and occupation of Iraq, the war against Libya, and (to an as-yet-undetermined extent) has been materially aided by the US government.<br /><br />Before 2001, the U.S. and UK collaborated in an embargo of Iraq that was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Saddam's subjects. <br /><br />I will concede that the U.S. government has been "playing by the rules" -- in the sense that its behavior has been consistent since 1953, when it first intervened in the Islamic world to overthrow (with the aid of CIA-funded radical Mullahs) an elected Iranian government, installing a dictator who later succumbed to the same radicalism that had propelled him to the Peacock Throne. Washington then abetted Saddam's aggression against Iran, leading to a decade-long war that claimed another million lives. <br /><br />Who is being the pulp out of whom, precisely? Loathsome as Islamic radicals can be, they've done nothing to match that record. Washington likewise has a remarkable record of identifying the worst and most violent elements within the Islamic world and cultivating them -- from the inbred barbarians in Saudi Arabia to the proto-Taliban in Afghanistan and the movement now known as ISIS. <br /><br />Until and unless he gives me reason to believe otherwise, the Muslim is my neighbor and I will protect his individual rights as zealously as I assert my own. The "real war," from my perspective, is the defense of individual liberty against people who seek to corral us into collectives and set us against each other for the greater glory of the state. <br /><br />William N.

W. Grigg and others <br /><br />Playing by the rules while the other side beats us to a bloody pulp doesn’t make any sense to me. Allowing Muslims to colonize the West is insanity. Libertarians are pallbearers in the death of the West as they have been fooled by their own rhetoric into ignoring reality wanting to win arguments instead of the real war.<br /><br />Dan KurtDan Kurthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08252444956956894276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-51184469096062488942015-09-15T15:02:02.754-06:002015-09-15T15:02:02.754-06:00There is always the alleged three world wars lette...There is always the alleged three world wars letter to consider. Seems to me that that is the game plan. Alice Bailey, or her descended master, also discussed this working out of strife between the People of the Book as a prelude to conditions necessary to the "Coming One".<br /><br />After more than three decades, the great Constance Cumbey is still on the trail of these rascals. Worth checking her site out. She was recently invited to join a group of Christian conservatives who featured three generals. One was Boykin, another Vallely. The latter has been associated with Michael Aquino, of Church of Set paedophilia at the Praesidio fame. Mrs Cumbey made her excuses, and published the info on her blog.<br /><br />And thank you, Will.<br />RuthTruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04147645351533652253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-18298800974516392912015-09-15T10:16:43.051-06:002015-09-15T10:16:43.051-06:00President Buckman, anyone?President Buckman, anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-90521361995209714382015-09-14T13:54:31.944-06:002015-09-14T13:54:31.944-06:00If "They" -- presumably the entire Musli...If "They" -- presumably the entire Muslim population, which we are invited to believe is a homogeneous mass of unfiltered hostility and violence -- have been pursuing a plan for global domination over the past 1400 years, their present condition belies the idea that they pose an "existential threat" to the West. <br /><br />Like you I waded through the entire 185 pages of clotted prose and sophomoric sophistry published by Bradford, which begins with the perfunctory acknowledgment that not every Muslim believer is an "Islamist" (a coinage that describes a certain kind of post-modern Muslim irredentist) -- and then proceeds to treat anyone who subscribes to that religion as an incorrigible enemy of all that is worth defending.By the time Bradford's screed wheezes to an end, he has blithely endorsed genocidal "eradication" of much, if not all, of the world's Muslims and punitive action -- including summary execution -- of anyone who would impede progress toward that objective. <br /><br />Contrary to widely cultivated myth, Muslims do not harbor similarly genocidal ambitions toward those who reject their religion. Even Islamists define their grievances primarily in territorial terms, rather than seeking world domination (which the most devout believe will only occur after the reign of the Mahdi). <br /><br />People of the latter kind are foul beings in whose company Bradford and his ilk belong. The biggest difference is that Bradford's views are probably much more typical of the U.S. military and foreign policy establishment than the views of Islamists are of the Muslim population at large. <br /><br />When people speak openly of a "Final Solution" to the Muslim problem, as Lt. Col. Zumwalt and others in his circles have (see http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2014/10/crush-seed-of-ishmael-final-solution-to.html), or of waging a war of "eradication" against Muslims, they have forever forfeited any claim to represent any civilization worth saving. <br /><br />William N.

What I see is Muslims have been at war with non-Muslims since the time of Mohamed. They say that they will conquer the non-Muslim world and impose Peace there. After 1400 years of carrying out that plan I believe them. Bradford also appears to believe them. I read his paper (a long read for sure) and suggest you all do the same. All that I can conclude is that the World faces an existential threat from Muslims. Bradford has convinced me that something must be done and that something will not be tidy.<br /><br />Dan KurtDan Kurthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08252444956956894276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-24575636903940583862015-09-14T05:22:15.207-06:002015-09-14T05:22:15.207-06:00The guy is nuts with a Napoleon complex.
