WTF??? Bill Kristol Claims That 9/11 Did Not Result In "Islamophobia" or "Xenophobia"
I think I've made my feelings about Bill Kristol very clear in the past, but allow me to reiterate: He is never right. He is wrong constantly. Anything and everything he says is a pathetic mix of lies and ignorance.
Now that we're clear, I have to ask, what will it take before the New York Times realizes that they are paying for utter and complete wrongness to pollute their paper?
In less than six months since his column began, the New York Times had already issued at least three corrections for factual errors in Bill Kristol columns.
Today, he's given his editors another reason to keep their red pens close at hand.
Kristol's assertion that the 9/11 attacks "did not result in a much-feared (by intellectuals) wave of popular Islamophobia or xenophobia" in this country will surely come a surprise to the millions of Muslims and immigrants in this country.
This goes against plentiful data and the lived experience of Muslims, Arab Americans and immigrants in our country. Many Muslim Americans reported increased hostility toward them after 9/11. Shockingly, Kristol's "non-existent" Islamophobia and xenophobia have also proved deadly for a number of Americans who became victims of hate crimes after 9/11. (See Divided We Fall for a moving account of this painful reality.)
Considering the amount of xenophobia that Bill Kristol and his PNAC buddies have unleashed on this country in pursuit of their agenda, I'm surprised he thinks he can write this without bolts of lightening striking him down.
Kristol is such a loser and I don't know why anyone even in this government ever took the time to listen to him. He is always wrong. It would be great if they just fired him for being a loser.

The kind old woman who accused Obama of being arab as if it were a crime. I wonder where that came from, hmm?
that old woman was kristol in drag.
remember the movie, PSYCHO ? KRISTOL
Then McIgnorance says back to her "No mam, He's not an Arab. He's a decent family man." give us a break from stupidity!
While we're talking about the evils of socialism ...... why not discuss Sarah Palin's tax on oil company profits so she could send a nice fat check to every Alaskan?
Isn't that income redistribution? Looks like a glaring example of "sharing the wealth" to me.
No, that's blood money paid to every Alaskan to allow Exxon and such the rights to rape and pillage the state :)

...The virulent false claims of Obama being a muslim as if such a thing should bar him from office? Is that tolerance Bill?
Pure and simple.
His politics don't matter to his masters.
Only his ability to generate revenue.
Pay attention to him here or elsewhere: His stock goes up.
Suggestion: ignore the fuck.
Bill Clinton never got a blowjob from an intern. There. Because I said it, it's true!
are you sure that kristol was not that intern?
he has had a lot of questionable sponts on his
black suits.
Republicans....
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
Either Kristol is just an idiot or he's purposefully lying to muddy the waters. Either way, we know Republicans/conservatives live in a parallel universe where logic doesn't exist.
These two aren't mutually exclusive. He's an idiot and a propagandist.
The headline reads as though somebody would actually be surprised at just how stupid and vitriolic Kristol can be. C'mon, now, are you really surprised? Somehow I highly doubt that...
I suppose Billy can give me a good reason, then, as to why my skinhead neighbor (who is a big Rush and Kristol fan) likes to rant about the "Ay-rabs" at length and gave me a stern lecture about how Obama was one of them after I put my sign out last week. He claims McCain will keep us safe and if Obama is elected we'll all be forced to become Muslims.
Yeah, I do lock my doors now. And not because I'm afraid of the Muslims.
9/11 didnt cause islamophobia, ...the media and our govt did.

Yep. Right you are. Day after day, week after week, month after month of "Terror Alert: Purple Nurple"......

We should think long and hard about that.
How to we make them pay for their crimes?
They're not small crimes either. It's not like they would feel shame about them. It's pretty apparent that many of the figureheads of the GOP are complete sociopaths.
They don't care if you live or die (unless you have brown skin. Then they'll want you dead). They just want your money.
and his neocon death cult.
And to think we're paying the piper for this clown and death and destruction he's sown symbolic or otherwise.
That's pretty disgusting when you truly think about it.
About a year or so after 9/11 happened a good friend of mine and I along with a group of friends were out in Washington D.C. My friend is Indian; however, that didn't stop assholes from calling her a "fucking terrorist" and "Osama Bin Laden." Again, we were just out on the town, trying to have a good time. Mr. Kirstol is such an asshat to say that 9/11 did not spur an increase in xenophobia and Islamophobia in the US. This election cycle proves that xenophobia and Islamophobia has gripped certain populations of our country. What else could explain the extreme virulent campaign undertones of McCain, this whole fear of the "other"?
The funniest thing about it is that paste eating FoxNews audience is nodding in agreement. "Duuuuh yeah, that's true , durrrrfffffff" (drool, false of couch).
The very fact that McCain's campaign is counting on islamophobia as he tries to paint obama as a muslim negates this idiot Kristol's point. Islamophobia exists in the ignorant and the uneducated and has been used as a fear mongering tool so that self serving, neocon white men can continue to get the opportunity to screw over this country for another 8 years if they get their way. I hate Fox news, I really do!!
And just like Bob Somerby points out: the more wrong you are, the higher up you get to go. Typical.
and that's why I'm sure Palin will get her own show on Fox.
PNAC and his buddies need to be shown the light of day and made famous as John McCain would say. CIA Agent Bob Baer, the inspiration behind the movie Syriana, has recently revealed to citizen journalists that he knew a guy who cashed out of the stock market the day before 9/11 who had connections to the White House. An insight into those "put options" so many people benefited from and the famous "Commission" decided not to investigate. Keep trying.
Here's the famous quote by the PNAC boys from the document "Rebuilding America's Defenses" in Sept. of 2000.. "the process of transformation.. is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
And their feigning stupidity only shows how ruthless and unapologetic they are.

The term islamophobia is such bullshit because it implies racism. Don't equate muslim with arab. Although I 100% understand that the right do this, please don't do it from the left.
Muslims suffer under Islam. Especially the women. Let's IMO try to empower Muslim women.
I'm somewhat confused and curious about your statement. Would you mind elaborating it?

while all this racism went along. It is amazing to me how people can pretend that racism and bigotry does not exist when it occurs on a daily basis. Let's just admit it. This man is delusional and still the voice of a major paper. Why does he still have a job?
Sorry, Nicole, but a recent Fox News Poll confirmed that there has been no increase in "Xenaphobia" since 9/11. That't right, there has been no increase in people who dislike or are afraid of "The Warrior Princess" since the attacks on 9/11. In fact, there was even a bump in her favorable ratings when Sarah Palin suggested we might want to hire Xena to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.
I think what Bill Kristol meant was that xenophobia didnt happen to HIM. either that of xenophobia didnt happen right in front of him. if either of those two statements are so, then there was no xenophobia...none at all...move along...go about your meandering lives...no one is screaming....

If he was participating in online forums and comment threads, he'd be nothing more than a troll. But he's on TV, so he just gets paid well.
I thought the most outstanding part of Powell's endorsement of Obama was his statement about respecting Muslims - why shouldn't a Muslim be president of the US?
Side note:
Former NYTimes reporter Judith Miller joins Fox News
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
Such a good point. If Barack Obama was a Muslim, why should he not be able to take office? Islam is not some evil religion, and neither are the majority of people who practice it. Sure, there are fanatics in Islam, but Christianity has its fair share of fanatics and fanatical causes. I guess it points to the whole idea of freedom of religion and how for a lot of people freedom of religion really means freedom to practice only one religion, Christianity.
I feel as though religion is not a qualifier for public office. As long as a person can separate his or her religion from government life then I don't care what they worship. Hell, a person could be a Satanist for all I care or worship some Sumerian god, preferably Inanna.
What a surprise. She should still be in jail.
Islamophobia is alive and well today; we have seen the fires stoked during recent McCain-Palin rallies. It's pretty scary stuff.
Nicole, thanks for the "Divided We Fall" nod. I had the incredible good fortune to write the music for that movie--my first feature film gig. The movie is still being screened across the country at universities and other small venues, and the producers. I also had an opportunity to visit the Mesa, AZ memorial for Balbir Singh Sodhi, the first person to be killed in the U.S. after 9/11 due to Islamophobia. To think that his story could be dismissed by Bill as non-existent is completely unacceptable.
I suggest that everyone write to Bill Kristol to correct him. I certainly will. He gets away with a lot of inane nonsense, but he shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. Roughly 20 people were killed in the wave of violence after 9/11.
Who knew! McCain might want to think twice about bringing up Rev. Wright now as the word is out about his black relatives. The McCain Family meets every two years at the Family Slave Plantation to enjoy each other yes black and white McCain's. Ok John and Cindy don't go because their in denial about the Family History but it's a fact. Lillan McCain spoke up and is looking forward to John and Cindy meeting the rest of the McCain Family that goes back to befoe the Civil War. Now Americans will have to pick from two blacks. One who looks black and another who has a black blood line and many black relatives.
John and Cindy will never come to that family reunion. Instead, they would rather be quietly self-hating before they would publicly acknowledge their black relatives. It would be a nightmare to them--and to their social circle.
After all, look what the Hemmings side of the Jefferson family had to go through before they were acknowledged by their white relatives.
was the only Muslim they could think of, the minions could really care less that he wasn't Christian because it didn't affect their small worlds. Then came 9-11, the fear of anything in a turban followed, and now there are people who are deathly afraid of an Obama Presidency because that Obama is....well a Arab! What's that you're muttering Billy Boy?
What a world this might be if all of us could connect the dots. People like Kristol are true criminals as they use criminal means of procurring their ends. To bad that in general, the only humans on this planet that see that live outside of the continental united states (and Alaska!)
Twenty years ago I was friends with a young woman who was one of the aerobics instructors at my gym. At one point, she referred to Arabs as terrorists, just generally! I was really disturbed about it, because she was, in every other respect, a good person.
Just saying. There has been the racism & xenophobia under the surface all along. The 9/11/01 attacks simply ripped open that surface. With a Connecticut Cowboy who was carrying out a neocon agenda in the WH, the media's help in cheerleading (Judith Miller just got a gig @ FauxNews this week), and the shock of the attack affecting the public, the latent hostility became overt.
So Kristol, even though he is a certifiable assclown, may be technically correct. But that just makes him irresponsible and un-American. He, like the rest of the extreme right wing pundits, panders to hatred and fears of those who would lash out at anyone who is perceived as alien or different.
There is danger there.
by those who of us who understand occupation by the wasps of the Americas!
to live in that head of Billy Kristol. I don't understand him and I don't understand why people listen to him being wrong as often as he is...
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
Then a famous celeb can say the next day . . . hey it's just a show he was cordial and even got some laughs.
Then the "fans" would say . . . Uhhhh, yeah your right, I agree. It's just a show and when you think about it yeah he was.
So this man and woman are figments of my imagination then:

It was in the couple of weeks following 9-11-01 that a redneck here in Phoenix AZ went out and shot himself a Aye-rab at a gas station as vengeance for the attack.
Problem with that was that, not only was the turbanned victim totally innocent, he was an Sikh immigrant from India.
No Xenophobia here; uh-uh.
there is a fear of Xena, Warrior Princess?

Last month I asked my students in my senior English class to write about 9/11 in their daily journals. The one Arab, Muslim student in my class, an angry, sullen young man, an Iraqi immigrant, wrote one sentence, "9/11 is the day everyone started hating me." 'Nuff said.
That is outrageously sad.
Go figger ............
Is that like 'I wont vote for a ******', but I'm not a racist, Billy?
I'm Arab American and I know a lot of other Arab Americans in my area (NY, NJ).
I know:
One Arab American who lost his young son on 9/11 who was working at the time at a brokerage firm located in the twin towers. The boy's mother fell sick a few months later and died of cancer. The father lives alone now.
One Arab American who had his restaurant burnt to the ground in retaliation for 9/11.
One Arab American who's voting for McCain because he doesn't want to pay higher taxes on his 250K income under an Obama administration (Selfish? Yes. I told him to consider the big picture. No dice).
“I was in this game for money,” Lahde, 37, wrote in a two-page letter today in which he said he had come to hate the hedge-fund business. “The low-hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government.
“All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy, only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other sides of my trades. God Bless America.”
... because Barack Obama is a socialist, Muslim, Radical Black Christian celebrity! (Is that everything? Did I miss any of the mutually self-contradictory narratives?)
Kristol is fortunate that breathing is an autonomic function - otherwise he wouldn't have the brainpower to breathe.
How does this blockheaded chump, who has truly been just plain wrong on everything, manage to keep a job?
Yeah, I know; because he looks so pompous parrotting his Corporate Republican talking points.
... is where Kristol comes from.
There isn't a word that comes out of this Wanker's mouth that isn't specifically designed to expedite the PNAC's political agenda. He's not honest - he has no personal integrity, he has no humanity, he has no heart. He's as much a killing-machine as any Nazi ever was. He's a stealth-bomber.
Re-thug-lics -- the party of immature, voraciously rapacious, despotic, doughy white, cowardly, aggressively angry, bigots, racists, perverts, xenophobes, pedophiles, murderers, war criminals, homophobes, misogynists, self-hating women, fetid wombs and consummate chronic liars. And Bloody Bill Kristol.

I don't think he will ever realize the depth of what PNAC has done to not only America, but its citizens.
(No, I'm not that one)
Proof of parallel universes!
http://the-billablog.blogspot.com/
With people like this you always have to wonder what percentage of what they say is self-serving lies, and what percentage is unintentional incompetence.
Given that, to my knowledge, Bill Kristol has been provably wrong about everything he has ever written or spoken about in a formal context, it's kinda hard to guess what his percentages are. After all, throwing darts at a wall with facts or predictions on it would beat him.
You'd think if he were intentionally lying most of the time, he'd at least insert something correct on occasion, so he didn't look so ridiculous. In which case I'll assume that it's 90/10, and the 10% where he's lying is the 10% that by sheer accident he would have been correct, but choses not to be.
I am so bummed I didn't get a chance to comment on this in a timely manner. If I was able to I would have sais that Kristol is really just a piece of shit who does nothing except divide the country. I wish I would have had the chance to say thins.
ENOUGH from wingnut blowhard windbags like Kristol. Time for the Bushco disaster-enablers to sit down and STFU for once. Limbaugh, Buchanan, Hannity, Savage, you've been yammering like fools for a decade. As of November may your useless opinions finally collapse into permanent irrelevance.
I'd love it if I thought this could be true.
Win or lose however - I don't believe the reich-wing noise machine will go away. I don't believe it will become irrelevant. I believe they will go into overdrive - if we stop them from stealing the election - and work 24 hours a day to de-legitimize the election results. These would be their first blows at an Obama administration. They would be beating on them so badly that they'd have trouble being effective administrators. Even if we get a veto proof majority, this will happen. They want to make sure Obama has a ineffective and beleaguered term in office.
It's simply the re-Thuglic way. It's all they do. This would actually their first move to win the next election.

..of a verse from the bible, "Thinking themselves wise, they became fools instead."
IMO this applies to almost all of the reichwing pundits.
Also,I am not geeky religious, so I can't tell you where (chapter and verse)in the book that comes from. I just remember reading it.
As an Indian American, I remember walking down my street in Northern NJ after the 9/11 attacks had occurred. A neighbor, and older gentleman who was sitting with his wife outside, had just said something along the lines of, "Did you hear the news about these towelheads gathering in the street." He didn't notice me walking by, and I'm not of Arab descent, but knowing my culture, I did feel somewhat taken aback by the exchange (I was 14). A few weeks later, my cousin, in Queens (NY), was beat down by a group of black males who thought he was "a muslim". This type of lame statement from Bill Kristol is completely devoid of reality or substance and I'm waiting for Nov. 5th, so that a healthy dose of reality will be injected into the Republican discourse. It's gut check time.
Folks, you should really see the reaction to the latest evacuation of Kristol Krap (503 letters and counting!). Some hot stuff there!
Smarmy little Billy is getting positively (and oft-eloquently) reamed in print by the NYT readership.
Judging only by their excellent spelling and grammar, there hardly seems to be a Republican (at least of the usual troglodyte school) in the bunch. Too many big words, I guess.

If it was the Editors' intention to install a lightning rod over on the right side of the Editorial Page, by all appearances they have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.
Read and enjoy!:
A.
In 2003 I was a student of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. If the name rings a bell, it's because when they talk about the "Arizona flight school" they referred to the Prescott campus.
Now, I'm not a Muslim myself, however one day I was curious and asked a flight instructor what happened after 9/11. His response was unequivocal: they were run off the campus, almost literally. Any Muslim student or one with Middle Eastern ancestry was immediately demonized and subject to massive discrimination.
In 2003/2004 you could see the affect. There were no Muslim students in flight-related tracks that I saw. In an incredibly multicultural school (in one year I had a calc professor from Nigeria, calc 2 prof from I believe India, another from Taiwan), there was a distinct lack of Arabian students. especially in the aero-sci fields, and I'm told it wasn't always like that.
is working like a well oiled cartoon. I expect "boing", "pop" and and "thud" sound effects will soon be used to punctuate their poorly crafted lies.
Seriously-- the way to deal with Kristol is to mock him. There should be a standardized short list of Kristol's greatest hits (Sunni and Shia get along fine, the Iraq will pay for itself, etc., etc.), and any time a liberal debates him or even mentions him in article, that list should be included, and the man mocked as a symbol of an upside-down and 100% wrong political movement.
What he actually says is only relevant in that it's usually a nice representation of their determination to deny reality.
The enjoyment of watching movies has much to do with the often mentioned suspension of disbelief. You know the story being told whilst you poke at your popcorn and slurp your Coke isn’t true, but for 2 hours or so you can convince yourself it “could be” to enhance the experience.
When I go to the movies, I can switch it on and off at will. For 2 hours, I can defend every silly scenario, every absurd situation, and every stupid stipulation. I enjoy it. When the movie is over, I throw my empty popcorn container on the floor (I’m a rebel that way) and walk out into the real world. I like the movies, but when the movie is over, I turn off the suspension of disbelief. It’s over until next time.
BILL KRISTOL CAN’T TURN IT OFF.
Bill lives in a movie-set, and he enjoys his suspension of disbelief. His world is a fantasy from which he can’t escape. His reality is forever in a jumbled script of PNAC wishful thinking, scripted make-believe, and unrealistic fantasy. Bill likes his reality. He likes it so much that he makes it up as it goes along.
Bill doesn’t have to leave the theater and walk into the stark light of everyday. He stays in his movie-like world, and changes the script as it suits him.
I know Iron Man doesn’t REALLY have a super-powerful repulser-ray shooting from his gauntlets. I like to pretend he does sometimes. Bill can’t tell the difference.
Senator Obama. Now. More Than Ever!
"Despite the best efforts of Faux News and the Bush
cabaladministration, 9/11 did not result in enough of a much-feared (by intellectuals) wave of popular Islamophobia or xenophobia"Fixed it for you, you insufferable prick.
Never been right about a damn thing but the NYT puts him on the editorial page. Why? Did Cloetus the Slack-Jawed Yokel want too much green?
Here is a mind-bending puzzle: what would you believe if Bill Kristol told you he was lying?
I wouldn't be surprised to find out some day that he and Judith Miller are the same person - maybe one is the other inside out.
I am so glad the chickens are finally coming home to roost at the NYT. I gritted my teeth through the Judith Miller idiocy, but the hiring of Kristol was the last straw. I canceled my 20 year subscription with the Times over it and had an interesting email debate with a NYT editor over it, which I recorded on my blog for anyone who is interested: http://mickeymusing.vox.com/library/post/vote...
Why does Kristol always look like someone stole his lunch money or told him he couldn't have that Mussolini action figure he wants?
I dropped my NYT subscription over this incompetent hack. I really miss it, but I won't re-subscribe until he is gone. The very idea that he actually gets paid to opine by respected news sources and is treated as a Very Serious and Knowledgable Person is amazing.

Dear Bill KKKristol,
I seem to remember a tour that some GOP mouth breather was taking to collage campuses...
... The Islamofascism Awareness Tour.
Please parse it for America, how in your world, reality does not exist.
Thnx

He is right on this one.
First of all there is no such thing as Islamophobia. Islam has to be defeated.
Don't give bs about all religions, Islam by its founders nature is very different religion than christianity...
And the same attack in any other country would have resulted in wholesale slaughter of muslims.
I give Americans lots of credit for showing such restraint.
You call invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 restraint?
Must be a new dictionary on the market. Compiled by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Perlman. With a foreward by Rove.
No one ever accused Bill Kristol of being the sharpest knife in the drawer.
It bears repeating that Bill Kristol & Allan Keyes were ROOMMATES at Harvard and Kristol managed Keyes's 1988 campaign which of course HE LOST!
Kristol is ALWAYS wrong and Keyes is CRAZY--Keyes is already a bad joke and punchline--Why hasn't that been the case for Kristol because it sure should be!
Why doesn't the TIMES fire this jerk? You read his column everyday don't you?
Why do you watch everything Palin does? You want to see her fail.
We have a guy in Canada doing hockey for 30 years (Don Cherry)...biggest A-hole there is but CBC would never fire him because, every SAturday night, millions watch to see if this will be the night he really screws up.
The media sells its soul for sensationalism. I'm surprised you ask this question.
I'm glad to see this posted here. His snarky remarks about Peggy were not out of character but when I read the part you highlight I had to do a triple take. WTF?! I DON'T read Kristol as a rule, but was doing a little research on why he has no free image available on Wikipedia - yet he does on Conservapedia? I know he used to have one on Wiki, could it be he demanded it be removed? And when I googled his name the aforementioned article was the first hit on the list. Anyway, apparently the right thinks Wiki is too liberally biased, which I find that a little ironic. If there is bias, anyone can edit Wiki, liberal or conservative, or in between - as long as you mind the rules of "point of view" posting. Guess it goes to show that reality does have a well known liberal bias.
Is there a .com that lists Fox and slimebough advertisers with email address so we who do not watch or listen can take appropriate action?
He needs to be given an old fashioned ass-whompin.
I'm not sure, but I suspect Kristol comes from some distant, un-American planet, sent here to undermine whatever humanity we have left.
Whenever I watch him blathering, I half expect a long forked tongue to suddenly flail out of his primary orifice, and his face to rend in half revealing the reptilian alien cloaked within his subhuman exterior.
Rick Davis gives me the same feeling. I wonder if they're from the same planet? I wonder what color the sky is there?
I won't lie and I won't cost them subscriptions. Aren't those qualifiers?
Bill sips from a flask of KKKoo-laid, made with the purest glacier water, that he keeps secretively stashed inside his ASSHAT.
This idiot has been wrong about 99 percent of the time, so why does he have a platform? Is it because the MSM wants to present a "balanced" view, which means to give airtime and news space to someone who routinely gets the facts wrong?
Bill Kristol is evil. And I don't say that lightly. Karl Rove is an innocent next to this guy. I don't say that he's wrong or ignorant because he knows the things he says are lies but he says them anyway to further his agenda which is basically to be one of a dozen or so people contolling all the wealth and power in the world with zero regulation and zero taxes (at least for those ruling elites.)
Hannity, Kristol and Limbaugh have taken over the Republican party. This is why it is going down. The party needs to completely rebuild itself with the focus most importantly on building a bigger tent. They will not be able to do this until they get rid of Hannity, Kristol and Limbaugh. As a Democrat I would want these guys to keep talking as they are driving away an increasing number of people. There racism, greed and hatred only appeals to an increasing smaller group of people.
The New York Times knows full well what Bill Kristol's agenda is. Along with Tom Friedman, David Brooks and others continue to promote an attack on Iran just the way these individuals along with Judy miller sold some of the American people the lies about Iraq.
New York Times made it very clear what their agenda was/is before the invasion of Iraq. Regime change in the middle east.
When you continue to promote liars by allowing them to write up what ever they please in your National newspaper it is damn obvious
Bill promotes regime change in the Middle east. He has never promoted Israel abiding by International law (the International World Court judged that the Wall that Israel was building was illegal as well as the expanded illegal settlements. Have you ever heard Kristol encourage Israel, Pakistan and India to sign onto the IAEA non proliferation treaty?
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/06/22/kristol-b...
It's Our War
Bush should go to Jerusalem--and the U.S. should confront Iran.
by William Kristol
07/24/2006, Volume 011, Issue 42
"What's happening in the Middle East, then, isn't just another chapter in the Arab-Israeli conflict. What's happening is an Islamist-Israeli war. You might even say this is part of the Islamist war on the West--but is India part of the West? Better to say that what's under attack is liberal democratic civilization, whose leading representative right now happens to be the United States."
The war against radical Islamism is likely to be a long one. Radical Islamism isn't going away anytime soon. But it will make a big difference how strong the state sponsors, harborers, and financiers of radical Islamism are. Thus, our focus should be less on Hamas and Hezbollah, and more on their paymasters and real commanders--Syria and Iran. And our focus should be not only on the regional war in the Middle East, but also on the global struggle against radical Islamism.

Hey, Billy Kristol, how about we find you some nice brown face paint, some brown contact lenses, black hair dye, a long kurta shirt, maybe a Sherwani suit jacket, some sandles, traditional kufi and have you walk around the "small pockets" of real America, or maybe "real" Virginia, and see how you fare out there. Go to the local tavern.
Though luckily my guess is 70 to 80% of America will do nothing, how many will pull out their cell phones and type "91.." and just wait.. and how many will yell something racist??
Good luck with that!!
