NO TURNING BACK TO THE OLD WORLD AFTER 9/11
Con George-Kotzabasis
September 11 has placed open societies and their democratic values at the crossroads of victory or subjugation. No nipple-fed intellectual quibbling or obfuscation can cover or evade this historic fact. Fanatic Muslim terrorists pose a threat to civilized societies of biblical proportions, especially, if they acquire weapons of mass destruction, or worse, from rogue states. Yet the liberal intelligentsia in its necrophilous stance, attempts to shift the blame from the terrorist perpetrators to their victims. In their mind's eyes, September 11 was the comeuppance of America for the ills the latter had "rained" upon the poor and oppressed of the world by spreading its rapacious eagle's wings over the globe in its pursuit of dominance and empire.
Thus, the terrorist threat is subordinated and replaced by the liberal invention of its own "evil empire". Turning logic on its head, fanatic terrorism becomes less dangerous and is transformed into a "lesser evil". In an ironic twist, the threat posed by terrorists against the West, is turned into the threat of the "Lone Avenger". But that the latter might ride through the canyons of America, in his pursuit to punish evil, not with six caliber pistols in his holsters but with nuclear weapons, is of no concern to liberals. Thus, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are all liberals. Foreordaining the destruction of Western societies by a fanatic horde of religious barbarians. But for the historically savvy part of mankind, there is no turning back to the complacent and innocent old world, but a forward advance against a mortal foe with no quarter given. In a world where multilateral action is weak against great dangers, only unilateral and preemptive action by the strong, as a last resort, is the only option. New challenges impose new methods of resolving them. Conventional diplomacy, under the auspices of the dilatory, weak, and morally and materially corrupt UN, as the example of Iran presently shows, is defunct.
