Then followed eight years of dithering by Bill Clinton, who ignored repeated
assaults including the original attempt in 1993 to destroy the World Trade
Center that culminated with 9.11 in 2001. His efforts to earn a Nobel Peace
Prize led to the worst Israeli-Palestinian conflict ever.
To subdue the insanity of Jihad, Islam will require the modern version of the
Crusades. All around the world they threaten nations that include the
Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, and, of course, Israel. By contrast, the
threat of Communism is one of slow encirclement by means of United Nations
international treaties designed to deprive us of our sovereignty while
tapping our wealth through global taxation schemes.
Many saw the demise of the former Soviet Union as Communism's end, when, in
fact, it exists worldwide and, while George W. Bush concentrates on the
threat from Islam, Communists too are beginning to increase their own
murderous effort to impose their will. This past week in Italy, the Red
Brigade murdered a popular economics adviser to the president of that nation.
There is no doubt that cells of the Red Brigades are alive and well
throughout Europe and South America. Witness, too, the increased US effort to
protect nations like Peru and Columbia from Communist insurgencies.
We have ignored our internal terrorists, the Earth Liberation Front and the
Animal Liberal Front, while they have perpetrated numerous acts of arson and
the destruction of laboratories engaged in medical and agricultural research.
They have been emboldened over the years to increase their vandalism, sparing
nothing from McDonald's franchises to fur farms and other commercial and
educational venues. These Green objectives are directed against our
Capitalist system with the intent of weakening it. They and those assisting
them must now tracked down and jailed.
Yet another threat to our nation's well being is the presence of many members
in the US Congress who thwart this nation's need for greater energy
independence. Now more than ever we need to be able to tap the vast oil
reserves of Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. When you add in calls for general
amnesty for illegal immigrants and the total failure of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service to provide any protection, these two problems take on
major proportions, also theatening our very future.
In November, when we get a chance to go to the polls, the voters must
overwhelmingly return the control of the Senate and the House to the
Republicans who will give the President the support he needs to provide us
the protection we need. We must save ourselves from our internal and external
enemies.
