Our First Loss
Madrid looms larger every day as our first defeat in the War on Terror.
The scale of the loss and the implications should frighten you. The policies of a democracy have been changed by the terrorists.
Just really think about that for a good long minute.
Al Qaeda has invented for themselves the most awesome and horrible tool imaginable. By slaughtering more of your friends, your fellow citizens, your loved ones, at precisely the correct moment, they'll get the guardians of your freedom called home. We peer now at a future of an increasingly cowed Europe, abandoning its post to hide from hungry killers in the deluded hope that that will satiate them.
The people who have undeservedly demonized the US -- Michael Moore, Al Franken, Ted Rall -- have played a perfect hand for bin Laden. By ignorantly yabbling about the war being for oil (never mind that it would be easier to have just let Saddam produce the damn oil himself) and demonizing Bush for partisan gain and foreign reknown, they have set the spike delivered last week by people who blow up children to suit their needs.
The wages of foolishness have been paid by 200 coffins in Spain. How long till we see Al Qaeda defeat and depose our allies, and turn its wicked eyes back to our shores?
