Mene mene tekel upharsin


Tony Blankley's article, Is There Writing On The Wall? pretty well lays out the fundamental divide these days: those of us who see "radical Islam" as a major threat to the West, and those who don't.


Every political decision -- from the Iraq war appropriation vote this week, to the Patriot Act, to the status of Guantanamo Prison, to NSA intercepts, to the presidential election -- is seen through our conceptual squint of the threat or non-threat from radical Islam.


And he points out that, once your side is chosen, you hardly ever find people who change their minds. My mind on this subject is laid out at some length in my Doppenganger blog, USMale.
