Committing Suicide, One Step At A Time

by Ben Shapiro - March 28th, 2007 - Townhall.com

How far will the West be pushed? For decades, Iran has embraced a strategy of carefully feeling its oats, prodding at the West, testing our mettle in inches. Now, like Germany in 1938, Iran is beginning to realize that the West will do nothing to stop it. Crippled by a pathological aversion to war, America and Britain sit by silently as Iran develops nuclear weapons, fosters terrorism in Iraq and targets Western interests for total annihilation.

Ben Shapiro asks some good questions in this article. The long term future of our world is seriously in danger from Islamofascism. While it happens democrats blather on about the short term consequences of this same danger. They are looking for partisan advantage because their long term goal is still the destruction of free enterprise. Focused on that they prefer the short term risk of losing this war we are in. Why are there so many people in the country who cannot clearly see the motivation of democratic leaders? How can so many people think leaving Iraq will have no consequence?

The consequences of failure in Iraq is nuclear war, a nuclear war we are neither prepared for or willing to fight. Even with the fantastic success of closing down the Libyan nuclear program democrats blindly close their eyes and speak the mantra "there were no WMDs in Iraq". They simply ignore finding that Saddam was sponsoring the Libyan nuclear program and his missing nuclear sceintists were all there moving forward with the program under the guidance of Khan from Pakistan. Since we shut down the program in Libya they are literally true but it is still not an honest statement. They are lying in their implication.

Iran is close to the bomb becuase of Khan. Due to the involvement of Khan in Libya we found out what he was doing in Iran. We had Musarraf pull him out but that simply delayed Iran. It did not end the danger. Shortly we will face the certainty that multiple Islamic countries will have the ability to maufacture nuclear bombs. When Muslim countries are certain America cannot know for sure which country gave the Islamofascists the bomb, they will arm this radical group with nuclear bombs.

When New York and Washington and Chicago and Los Angeles disapper in a mushroom cloud, what do you think the democrats are going to do? They will be busy blaming it on Bush. For the next 20 years everything that goes wrong in America will be Bush's fault. They will agonize and dawdle however they will take no action. Just watch. I am no Bush fan but this is insanity.

Shapiro is right. We are committing suicide, one step at a time.
