The Last Vance McDonald Letter to Appear in the 'Chronicle' That Says Exactly the Same Stupid Things as All the Others

RECEIVED Mon., April 24, 2006

Dear Editor,
    “You [Americans] have to be subdued. We [Muslims] have to be above you.” Testimony of convicted September 11, 2001 mass murderer Zacarias Moussaoui.
    “The further we move away from 9/11 without another domestic attack, the more tempting it is to believe that awful day was an aberration, to think we can return to normalcy if we merely leave Iraq and the other Middle Eastern regimes to their own purposes. But the forces of radical Islam aren't going to leave us alone merely because we decide that resisting them is too hard. The main political difference in the U.S. today is between those who appreciate that Islamic terrorists represent an existential threat to American life and liberty and are prepared to do what it takes to defeat them, and those who think the threat is overstated and can be ameliorated or appeased.” April 14, 2006 Wall Street Journal.
    The quotes above succinctly define today's American cultural and political crisis. Are America and the free world in danger of obliteration by Islamist fascists, e.g. al Qaeda and Iranian Mullahs, or was the world war declared by the mad Iranian monk Khomeini upon the U.S. in 1979, the subsequent Islamist terrorist crimes of the Eighties and Nineties, and the mass murder and destruction perpetrated on September 11 by bin Laden's savages not really lethal attempts to destroy civilization? History speaks for itself. Islamist terrorists threaten the free world with extermination.
    A great cultural test occurs this November when Americans choose who will control Congress. Sadly, the Democratic Party leadership and members suffer from neo-leftist utopian denial of the Islamist fascist threat. Fortunately the Republican Party is not burdened with that affliction. If Americans retain a Republican Congress, the Islamists savages will be significantly closer to utter defeat. Conversely, a Democratic neo-leftist Congress ensures Neville Chamberlain appeasement of the Islamist enemy mortally exposing civilization to annihilation.
