Very good choices. I am recommending KoF and the rest of the Council members to my merry band of marauders. I have only just registered here, I have in the past read some of your posts. Going to be back regularly and spread the word. Concerning the Inaugural speech, I am far more disturbed by the spin that is being used to turn world opinion against Bush’s ideas, ideas that should be drawing acclaim, support, and praise. The socialist left has failed, and yet they continue to act as if they are the rulers of all they survey. The GOP is still unable to behave in a manner befitting a victorious political party. It has been 10 years and we still can’t get our act together.  As for the war against democracy, who did not know this? There is a tiny minority of individuals who will always use whatever pretense to gain control of others. Islam has been hijacked by socialist/Marxists who see it as their route to controling large blocs of people. Combining with religion gives them a 2 pronged attack that is difficult to combat. Educating the muslem population is the only way, in the end, that will defeat this threat.

Thanks for the kind words.

I agree that education is the only counter to this threat.  The problem is that the people there have already been educated, and not in a way that benefits us - or them (imho).
