Blaming the Left? How far left are we talking about? I suppose the former Soviet Union is squeaky clean and has no culpability or stake in the mid east blood bath or the African chaos. Beg to differ, the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism hard bolts and is direct drive coupled to Moscow. The Whabbi sect of Islam has been around since 950 A.D. and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan galvanized that cult and what was originally called the ?Whabbi? became ?the list? or Al Qaeda and that was well over a decade before 9/11. Alas, an odd-ball blood cult became main stream, courtesy Moscow. Then there is the matter of the Soviet-Cuban ?Wars of Liberation? in Angola, the Congo and the horn of Africa. These days Africa is awash with cheep Russian military hardware and the going rate for an AK is $8 for a well used one and $12 for a less used one. And the wars still go on in Angola, The Congo and the Horn of Africa. The warring parties don?t even bother with a statement of ideology or a political arm anymore, just grab and kill, grab and kill and lethal Russian weaponry is abundant and as common as pig tracks.

As to the Liberal wing of the Democratic Party, well, if they?d get some organization about themselves and present a cohesive plan and a bit of consistency they might pick up a wider audience. Presently the writhing around in the left hand side of the DNC tent isn?t doing them or anyone else any good at all. They own that part of the problem and indiscriminately alienating large groups of average folks is counter productive. A thermos cork and some duct tape for Dean and Durbin would be a step in the right direction. I listen closely to Democrats that know what they are talking about and recognize the need to get over our cultural cold war. Those who choose to slam-dunk people because of what they may believe are in favor of increasing the rift and they get no air time with me, none.

And Nome, good old Nome. He is off the charts on the vertical brilliance line and equally off the charts to the left hand side, way out there in the lunatic fringe somewhere. His article is clearly a misstatement of reality and a total political rant. It is Osama Bin Laden who is claiming a Global Islamic Empire and has so stated over and over again and with the bombing of London, the Koran statement requiring non-belligerence of a guest has been declared null and void now, publicly. I guess Nome couldn?t see that part through his rant and rave political kaleidoscope. He is in charge of his own relevance and deception by omission is irrelevance by definition.
