I would agree that one of President Bush’s strong points is his patience. He also seems to have the ability to ask a question or present a situation, such as Wretchard has done today, without feeling obligated to tell the answer. This demands thought on the part of the listener or reader, something we desperately need in order to win this war.Yes, it does relate to Nazis -- that would be the dhimmis in Europe. Stay tuned...
This jihad and new Islamic revival has been going on for quite some time. Patience at its finest. It is my opinion that the intellectuals guiding it were likely unhappy when bin Laden and his boys prematurely took things into their own hands. I can imagine the headshaking over the impetuousness of youth. The movement was well underway and traveling with great steam throughout Europe and with good seeding in the United States.
The youngsters, the violent impatient ones, have suffered a great loss at Falluja, while the patient ones may have suffered their greatest loss on 9/11 when some of us became aware. Daniel Pipes suggests the youthful terrorists will give up on theatrical violence and use mafia tactics. They already are in Paris and Malmo. Watching blogs and newspapers closely I see a new wave of warfare coming from the patient group. They are returning with a vengeance to the well-marketed psychological PR type moderate rhetoric directed at our desire to get along and our penchant for political correctness. There are plenty of apologetic dhimmis in Europe who will happily accommodate by spewing anything but their fear. You can see it today in a Glenn Reynolds post. What we need to worry most about is whether individually we will be as strong and prepared as our Marines when the silent patient battle comes to our neighborhood, school board and political system.
Did I forget to mention that I don't always feel obligated to tell the answer either?
UPDATED ALREADY: Wow is Wretchard good. At the same time I was posting this, he elevated part of Jane's comment into his next post. Cool.
