UPDATE 9/9/26: If there is one lesson to be learned from 9/11 and the 25 years  since, it is that that that day was just the opening salvo in a previously undeclared war waged on us by an enemy that has nothing more or less in mind than the total subjugation and conquest of the West. It is suicidal to believe that our pluralistic, open, immeasurably beneficial, productive, ingenious, freedom-loving way of life is argument enough to win over those who want nothing of our virtues and values. It is simply not so, and the ongoing decline of almost every major European country, not to mention already-conquered Islamic strongholds in America like Dearborn and Minneapolis, should have opened everyone’s eyes.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s long essay, entitled “What Mohammed Atta Was Trying To Tell Us”  lays it all out in dreary detail, making this sobering anniversary a pivot point. As disturbing as reality might be, we must as a country admit the barbarians are well within our gates now and pouring in at an exponentially increasing rate. We must elect those who will take every possible step to resoundingly contain  & eject this cancer; OR prepare to see the end of America and all she represents, sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately, the outlook for serious resistance and renaissance is grim, judging by the choice New Yorkers (of all people!) have made for their Mayor, the living embodiment of history’s two most deadly ideologies-Marxism and Islamism. Restating the painfully obvious: things are guaranteed to go wrong when people foolishly confuse their mortal enemies for friends…and vice versa.

We have been warned. Apparently, even after 25 years, it hasn’t fully registered what’s in store for the oblivious. 

UPDATE 9/12/25: 24 years on after 9/11, we are fortunate to have a truly fearless leader at the helm. Still they hate him (and his supporters). For us Deplorables, it does the heart good to witness moments like this in a consummately American setting like Yankee Stadium.

UPDATE 9/11/24: THE fundamental human flaw in both large and small matters is the inability to distinguish between friends and enemies. 9/11 is one of those very large matters that taught us nothing, judging by our electoral preferences. Without forceful leadership as a deterrent, those that hate us see nothing blocking their evil plans. Among Kamala’s many Big Lies is her outright lie about those foreign barbarians rooting for a restored Trump Presidency when quite the opposite is true. She is, by word & deed, Obama/Biden’s successor, the welcoming gatekeeper waving in those foreign Trojan Horses bent on our destruction.

ORIGINAL POST 8/3/10: Always reliably, deeply intelligent,  Dorothy Rabinowitz asks why, at the insufferable Michael Bloomberg’s insistence, we Americans have to prove we’re tolerant to those who would love to kill & conquer us all.
