22 December 2006--P.M.

Well, time has passed by, almost an entire day, and no word of anything confirmed in London. I have been wondering what would enable a ragtag band of a few hundred British Muslim civilians to avoid the capture of what may be the finest law enforcement organization in the world, Scotland Yard, and what is possibly the finest intelligence unit in the world, MI6. I mean, when the Home Secretary (according to ABC News.com) announces that only a miracle could save London from an attack far worse than the attack of 7 July 2005, and that they know who these people are, yet cannot prevent them from this attack, it is truly chilling.

However, I have to say that it is almost the only thing that may slap the collective faces of civilized global society into facing reality. We are asleep. The world pays more attention to what happened to Abu Ghraib than to 9/11, or to Haditha than to Beslan. This is positively insane! Worse, most people under the age of 35 or more obsessed with Britney Spears going out dancing without any underwear than they are about the intention of Iran's president to utterly destroy Israel and bring the world into a final apocalyptic war. It is safe to say that 9/11 taught us nothing, and that we have a real day of reckoning now at hand. Sad, it would involve one of the greatest cities of all history being half-leveled.

War is inevitable, the sooner the better. And anyone who just thinks I'm bloodthirsty doesn't know me, not at all. The reason I advocate all out confrontation now is simple: every day buys the Islamofascists more time and they get stronger and bolder. Traditional Islam is not a religion that can be merely defeated, negotiated, cajoled, appeased, or with whom they can be co-existed. It must be absolutely crushed, and destroyed. And we have to go into this war holding nothing back, firmly convinced of the rightness of our cause--freedom for all mankind, and the worthiness of our civilization to be defended and preserved. There is no more time for self-doubt or mental self-mutiliation through "political correctness." We can face our demons and make restitution, but only on the heels of victory. I hope that it will be our ultimate choice as a society. I pray for our President, and for all the leaders of the civilized nations-targets of this monstrous evil of the last 14 centuries. We must crush it, once and for all.

In the words of the Crusader Pope, Urban II, "God wills it."
